    I fixed an oil leak I had.the oil pressure switch was done...a bit of a pain to remove...but I'm glad to see a clean bottom for once and no oil everywhere I parked...I still have to figure out why my engine oil light still on my warning panel and coolant light too.

          fixed my extremely high idle (4500-5000+ RPMs)

          and it was not my torn intake boot :tsk: looks like a knife job. but who?

          it actually ended up being the wiring to the ICV on my ETA. swing the wires left and it ran and idled just fine- then go the other way, and it surges like a MoFo

            oil in a European car is very touchy- and if your above or below the fill line it may turn on the check light.

            coolant light is more than likely(if you have no leaks) that the sensor in the tank is just old and defaulted.

                The oil is right a the 2nd line and could it be that the plug that goes to the switch might be out? Since it was shower in oil do to the leak I try to clean it and let it dry as much as I could..I'll hopefuly be replaceing the colant level sensor this weekend

                  Got some Bosch non-smileys a few nights ago and i just wired up the city lights!

                  I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                    After two days finally finished trimming my quarters so them 17"'s finally tuck with just a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles hair to spare.

                    Had one of my bent rims repaired. Only $40. Polished my rear lips.

                    Took it for a joyride!!

                                Finally made time to go over to my friends place (3hrs. one way by stupid public trans). Re-did my botched water-pump/timing belt job. Ran her nice and hard through a favorite road of mine on the way home.
