Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    3800 Rough Idle-High RPM

    We have got a 97 grand prix that has been an excellent car until now. When starting it up-the idle is rough, right around 1000 rpm. Going down the road the rpm will continue to rise on its own and will not come down-creating the car to accelerate, creating a dangerous situation. When put in...
