I don't know who might be left from original thread but I was able to get a greatly reduced in price, Air Mass Meter from Sun Valley Auto (online) for $340 and they gave me back another $30 for core return. My mechanic put it in and the car seemed to be okay. The RPM needle surged only the "normal" amount on restart, anywhere from 500-1000 and not the 1-2K and back. No stalling.

But, even with a reset, the blinks reverted to 16, 17 again and some mornings the car will stall after a clean start up when I turn the wheel too far to the left or right (as in a 1 point U Turn). I have not done any major work to the car since the last post. It now has 126K on it and is in the shop for some other problem (ignition key, change plugs to copper core and possible throttle cable replacement).

Anyhow, that is the latest on this beast. Briefly wanted to sell it but changed my mind. Even when it's not running 100%, or even 90%, I still enjoy it.
