WOOHOO! Houston we have lift off!

I doubled checked the wiring and followed the test proceed from the CD manual. Found that indeed I was not getting any voltage to the Lambda control and Idle Speed Control Computer. If I tapped on the relay I was get spikes of voltage and nothing more. The voltage wouldn't stay constant.

I put in a new Over Voltage Protection Relay and she prrrrr's like a kitten now. Engine fired right up, after a few minutes of running the idle dropped down and she ran real smooth. Not that it didnt run smooth before, but now you hardly know its running....no stray vibrations.

Also the pulling power under acceleration is back. The engine pulls strong and smooth. Before I changed the relay it felt like a bad miss on one of the cylinders. Now if I blip the throttle it takes off like I remeber when it was new.

A friend of mine bought this car from a family I used to work for. I still remeber the day they got the car new....I wasn't allowed to touch it (didn't have my licence yet). After 17 years they decided to part with it, never hit or painted. Interior and exterior has very little if no wear at all. The car has always been pampered. It had only seen about 2,000 miles in the past 3 years. My friend was able to get it for a 12,000. Good deal if you ask me.

Oh well....enough rambling on.

Thanks for advice...two thumbs up!
