Nicole,

Glad to hear it wasn't too serious (still crossing
my fingers).

Hello Nicole,
regarding the low idle issue, I would be very interested to hear the results with the new coils. I have been chasing a low idle problem for quite some time now. The latest update I had done was replacing all the fuel dampners, which increased the fuel pressure from 35 to 48 (if I remember correct) and improved the idle quite a bit. It is still low but now smooth at about 600 RPM's.
regards,
Sab.

Nicole-

Glad to hear that it appears to be the half shaft. Shouldn't be that bad on the checkbook.

I just got THE call from Brad at DEVEK: The driver's side half shaft had come off, and one bolt was damaged. The bolts on the other side were loose. No damage to the half shafts, thank god!

It's been two years or 10k miles since the transmission had been out for repairing a leaking torque converter seal. I DO wonder what other bolts might come loose in the meantime, if the were not torqued correctly.

Since the car is in Belmont anyway, I have DEVEK send it to San Carlos Radiator to get the AC diagnosed and fixed. Hopefully the beast and I will be reunited soon!

Thanks for all your input!
