The issue with it going lower and higher can be cause by a number of things. I would start by looking at the lever thats attached to the front swaybar. This lever is the one that makes the suspension rise or lower depending on angle and pitch of the car.

thx justin

i checked all the levers, front and back, no problems with it. no leaks on the hydro shocks. no leaks in the hydro cells. checked valves , no problem.
computer ? (dont know how to check that).

i forgot to say, even when i stop at a red light, it lowers and highers itself .

did i forget to check anything else?

I would try cleaning the contacts on the pump/computer to see if that fixes the problems. Someone else on this board tried that out, and it seemed to make the car ride smoother as well as more level.

The controller is behind the driver headlamp. You will see see the connector as it has many wires going in and out of it.
