when it's cold it idles at 2000/2100/2200 [if really cold]

once it moves off of super cold to approaching C, it drops to 1900, and when it's c/ 1-2 bars, it's like 1500-1600.

When WARM, after being driven, it idles at 850-900ish rpms. can't be for sure, stock needle isn't particularly precise.. never lower than 850, for sure though.

Edit: while I'm here, I should mention, it's done that thing other's have mentioned where the revs bounce when it's at idle. I cleaned off one of the fuses in the engine bay, it's the AC fuse ... after doing that, the problem seemed to go away. I think I may have used one of the replacement fuses there was under the lid for the same thing some time before?? , I'm not sure.

When you really let loose on the throttle, and hit the 4350ish+ powerband, and (I presume) the T-Vis engages, it sounds a little bit like the turbo "whoosh" on a friend of mine's turbodiesle crew cab truck. It performs great, but just want to confirm the sound isn't anything peculiar?

Again, it's a non-turbo.

Thanks for the info on the oxy sensor! Excellent directions.

As far as the exhaust goes, it's the stock 1987 dual pipe exhaust, similar to this ... if that helps identify it. http://www.iapdirect.com/images/T/HKS_SPORT_EXHAUST.jpg

I'll get pictures asap. [Thursday, in the day.] Please don't be mean .. it's not very clean.

Again, thanks for all the help.
