Hey everyone,
I haven't posted in a while because my car was broken for so long...I got my gears done at NRC, and they did a great job, they are quiet and the 4.11 Stranges were definitely the right choice (It pulls so nicely 1st and 2nd gear). I also had my antitheft module replaced at J&T after all kinds of fuses started blowing. They too did a good job, and I had no problems...Thank you, and props to our sponsors.
Now for a question...
At idle my car is running really rough and sometimes stalls. While driving, regardless of RPM or gear it sometimes completely loses power, and feels like it is going to stall. I was wondering if anyone knew what this was...I am hoping it is not the OptiSpark, but I really don't know. If anyone has any input please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
--Jimmy
P.S. If my car is running right by Tuesday, I will be at Bald Hill if anyone else wants to go.

Are you throwing any lights? I have scanner software that could read you car.. IF need be.. Lemme know... Is it a auto? or 6 speed? burn plug wire's usually are the culprit..

When the car starts to act funny the service engine soon light comes on...
I would really appreciate the use of your scanner. I am in Mt. Sinai, but can travel if you need me to. I am hoping it is something simple like wires.
Thanks a lot
