Last week I ordered some new wiper blades from wipers123 cause they emailed me my annual inspection notice. Tried the new trico ice winter beam blades. Had 20 degree temps over the weekend and got our first snow in WI today. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better than the old winter wipers with the rubber covering them. Bring on the WI winter!!

Okay..... put ANOTHER new fuel injector in cause the other new was leaking out of the box, put in a new nut kit, no more fuel leaks.... still having rough idle. Everything else is perfect, flick the key, it starts, there really is no throttle lag from it running rough at idle. pulled up to a stop sign, hit the gas from the stop sign and rough idle and it accelerates perfect, get above idle RPM and it runs like a dream.
Tomorrow I am going to put a new #3 plug in, and clean the #4 plug on the passenger side, they could just be partially fouled.

Today I removed my old dash tweeters, bought new Polk 4x6s , & installed them. They sound great! Unfortunately though my speaker covers were so sun damaged that both cracked in half... Guess I'll be pulling new ones from the junk yard.

Still struggling with the jimmy to get it to run right, still stumbling at idle like I have a huge cam, like when a dragster pulls up to the line...
Then i give it gas and it runs perfect, until it gets to idle basically. accelerates perfect, just that damn idle.

so for I have replaced nut kit, injectors, fuel pump and TPS.
I think Friday I am going to check the timing, I noticed that the distributor is squeaking, not sure if that would effect idle.
I have Captain Hook being more than generous with his knowledge.
