    then i will maybe attempt changing the ECM. i have a spare one from my old 88 wagon. so i guess its safe to say this car is fixed, just has a glitch in the ECM?

        Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

                When you disconnect the battery, you'll have to give it some time to relearn everything. It might idle weird for a while. Just throwing that out there.
