It purrs' like a baby kitten. Sweet and Smooth. No stumbles, no misses, no errors. I did find a vacuum leak behind the cluster at a servo that directs A/C up at the windshield. I just put screws and tape on the hoses and now it blows at the glass all the time (fine by me) The 'economy' gauge really showed a difference once that leak was solved. I also fixed a small leak nearby the fusebox. I wasnt able to detect anymore. My low idle RPM is right at 600-700 (with A/C on) The economy gauge is buried in the red while accelerating, and is all the way in the black usually coasting on the freeway. All other driving is somewhere in-between.

I experience the low power with the a/c on or off, starting in 1st or 2nd gear.

Another side note: when I start it, it instantly starts and then dies. Then start it a second time and it usually takes off and maintains low idle. Sometimes it is required that you gas the accelerator a bit (when you do, the RPMs fly up to around 1500-1800 and then fall back to 600. Is any of that normal? or to be expected from a car with 195K on the odometer (80K on the engine)?
