Hi all been a while. Just thought I'd pop in and tell you all about a recent trip to PJ Grady's. I was having some front end issues as well as an intermittent cold start problem that I couldn't quite nail down. Turns out I needed a new steering rack. Which I kind of figured because to the best of my knowledge was never changed. I will say the new rack is nothing short of spectacular. That plus some new front shocks literally transformed the whole front end of my car. It hasn't handled or driven this well in years. Drives down the road straight as an arrow and handles like a dream.

On a totally unrelated note I finally decided to give Rob time to nail down my starting issue. Which turned out to be a bad computer. Which shocked the hell out of me because I didn't think the computer did much of anything on these cars. But as it turns out it does especially at start up. Now it starts like a dream. Idles smooth and starts perfect every time without even touching the throttle. I couldn't be happier with it. I almost don't even want to put it away for winter. My thanks again to Rob for a fantastic job.

Yes the idle ECU sets the idle motor opening to correspond with engine temp when you start the engine.
