Mine is having idle surges and other weird idle issues lately so I cannot wait to see what you come up with.
Must have a nasty cam

I wish..
Well I had to run home at lunch to pick up 25 chicks from the post office (bring your best jokes), and I got the plates transferred from the old car so I drove it back to work. Seems to run well, LSD works too.

I had baby ducks shipped through the mail one time and a bunch of them died from the cold. I have no jokes and your statement made perfect sense to me.

Mb they adjusted the throttle cable so its further open at idle.
I did check that and it has enough slack to close all of the way.
I drove it to work again today, the only problem is some tire rub in the back when hitting a bump. And that someone threw away the cruise control actuator!!!!!
Looking for some uncut lowering springs. The Billies seem to still work, it isn't bouncy.

400ish miles so far, it runs better the more I drive it. Sitting for 5 years is no good for any engine. After adjusting the throttle stop it idles properly and has no codes. It was held open a little.
I replaced the rear springs with the Eibach ones from my other car, it raised about 3/4" but the ride is way better and doesn't rub except over big bumps which I can deal with. The wheels are 17x8 et13. That explains the rubbing. The hub bore is also too large, I assume they were intended for an e39? I also removed the stickers as it isn't stancy enough to have cool guy stickers.
I ordered a few parts now that I feel confident that it runs well. RSM's, hardware for X-Brace, oil filter housing gasket, vanos oil line, cabin air filter, radiator clips, hood release cable, Spal 16" fan ( I can't stand the mechanical fan), and front control arm bushings (centered m style ones).
Next up will be some cooling system work to make sure everything is solid.
LSD works, I left 2 black streaks each time on 3 attempts.

Good to go, the result of not having the beauty cover or any under panels below the bumper means a ton of water sprays everywhere while driving in the rain. It fills up the spark plug wells and shorts out the spark.
Soaked it up with paper towels and it is good to go!

Were you driving through a fucking monsoon!? I have never heard of that happening. It almost seems to defy gravity lol. Any pictures?

I've had it happen on the compact in the past. It rolls off of the rain tray and onto the valve cover
This ^ it was very little water, just enough to short out cylinder 5 or 6. Both of them had water around the plug. It ran good when I left the house and got worse the farther I went so I assume the water got in there from driving.
