Well if you are done sleeping and need your RX7 fix I can stop by with the FC. It has a few bugs to work out. Also does anyone know who owns the white FC that parks at the SHA SHA LOUNGE at Rancier and WS Young? I see it there frequently but I don't know who owns it.

I will try and give you a call saturday. PM me if you have a time preference or some Little Ceasar's Pizza. I picked up a multimeter to test the TPS and BAC. The car has an intermittent idle issue and stuff.

The idle jumps around 1 - 1.5k rpm but when the A/C is on it will drop to a normal sustained idle(~800rpm). Sometimes it idles just fine without the A/C on. I am going to have to give myslelf a crash course on multimeters and electronics to figure this one out. It gets annoying to hear the engine revving up and down and up and down... I can't seem to find any articles on adjusting the NA tps only the Turbo II. I also need to fix the power windows. Going to try the switch fix in the archives tonight. Car might have some sort of coolant leak too. I thought I got it fixed but the temp gauge jumps from 1/2 to 2/3 and back to 1/2 every once in awhile during a drive. Maybe just a bad sensor???

OK, sounds good. I just did the window switch clean up and unfortunately it had no noticeable effect on the operation of the windows. The switches did need a good cleaning though. Do you have a 12v battery? We could test the motors then to see if they are both functioning correctly.

I can also drop by on saturday, you can swap out my window switches to see if that's the case. I had to get new window switches for mine and it did the trick, I even tried cleaning the old ones with no luck.

Although my hot start still worries me. Usually it's no problem since I hooked up a switch on a splice for a certain wire to the ecu for fuel cutoff. Car just wants to crank as much fuel as the damn thing is cold.

I've been hoping to see a 2jz FD in person; I've seen a few around the forums. I went benedict arnold and put an LS2 in mine.
