It's looking more and more like it will have to go to the dealer for
some TLC with DRBII.... I've tried just about everything I (and you
guys) know of. My last shot is the plug wires which I'll get Thursday.
I just don't like the idea of the monkey men at the dealer touching it.
And when they see the headers, FIPK, MP SBEC..... I'm sure they will try
to blame me for the problem....

But thanks anyway for all the suggestions I've got. I made a wave file
today of how it sounds when it acts up, turned out really good. If
anyone would like to hear it just go to
"http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/9221/idle.html" and follow the
directions on the page.

On a happier note; I also made a really nice wave file of my dak going 0
- 110mph in a little over 23 seconds, lot of fun.... I'll get that one
up and let everyone know when and where to get it.... sounds nice...
Right when I hit 110 I saw a white Caprice comming from the oposite
way...... I lucked out, it was civilian but my heart was tickin' about
as fast as the magnum was ;~)
