Well now that shes back on the road it's actually rather wierd the new
head unit cd player and speakers fixed the problem, it idles at
800-1000. The old radio had shorting problems with the rear deck
speakers, So I suppose that was the cause... Now all she needs is a
clutch tune-up, oil change, timing belt, and shell be good for another
50,000 km.
Its true those little f22 motors just run FOREVER.
