Congrats on the new car! Disconnecting the battery for a little bit will accomplish the reset as well as anything.
Where are you in WI? I'm in southern MN, might be thinking about selling my wheels soon, we can talk if you'd be interested, send me a pm if you'd be interested in the specifics.

Worked on the idle issue today, and solved it by adjusting the extremely loose throttle cable assuming this would be the problem. It idles smoothly at 750rpms now, and drops to 500-550 when put into drive/reverse. I also disconnected the battery for giggles, and the CEL hasn't flashed on again yet. Maybe it was a loose gas cap some time ago?.....

I've diagnosed the root problem as a bad pcv valve. The pcv valve is likely clogged, causing oil to puke into the intake tube, making the throttlebody, and mass air flow sensor dirty. As well as making the crankcase build up pressure. Maybe that will solve my problem?...

Nice score on the springs and shocks, that's my kind of friend to be giving them to you! Which Tanabes are they? I had df-210's for 3 years, great drop for springs.

Duluth/Superior is a beautiful area, love the lakefront up there! I'm between the twin cities and Rochester.

I like the north shore (Canada) better, but this does fine during the summer. I'll ask him of he remembers when I get the wheels tomorrow!
