    Here in New Orleans i see daily people been pulled over for dark windows. Some how i don't like tinted windows unless you have to hide something. My stereo was $200 back 5/10 years ago. Now may be $25 But wait, why pay more when still does the job good.
    Thanks Messy

    I own the very same head unit that you've got: Kenwood KDC-4011s. Paid about $200 for it many years ago. Now it's now in my brother's 91 civic...still playing tunes loud as hell.

    Glad to see that you fixed your engine problem. These cars are great once you get them dialed-in. I'm currently chasing up an idle problem in my Dad's 89 LXi manual. When I start it cold, it immediately revs to about 4k and holds it there for about a minute, then it goes and remains is a rolling/hunting idle from about 1k to 2k. It's very rhythmic. The electronic air controller is new and the 1 minute of high revs makes me think it's the fast idle control valve as that part is actuated by a built in thermostat connected to the coolant lines. If that isn't the problem then I'll begin checking the vacuum lines...unless someone knows what better to do? I'm all ears.

    Check the Fast Idle Control first there is a small part which will expand when hot coolant comes in to contact, also check if there is enought coolant in the system.

    Also check the Electronic Air Controller if coolant passes by. This means that the coolant is reaching to EAC from the ICV. also check the Throttle Angle Sensor. And then you can check the vacum lines. Mine was very little hole you could miss it very easy. It was pure luck that i found it after days of hitting my head in the wall. Good luck and keep me posted

    Paint brush in use again, I know it's cheap, but it's cheaper this way. In this economy nice shoes are expensive.
