Re: NON ROC BUT SAME ELECTRICAL

["Mark Madison" <markie@proaxis.com>]

thanks for the help.. but I don't think so on this one.
the car runs fine most of the time... keeps idle normal,
perfectly.   Can't be the stablizer.. itself, but I'm wondering
if its the wiring to the stabilizer or perhaps the control
mechanism to it as well!

At least I'm headed in the right direction!

thanks,

mark m.
