OK, I have my Air Regulator. $85.81 with my discount... not terrible compared to the $109.95 that Victoria British want's for an aftermarket one. I'll put it in this afternoon when I have the time and re-set the idle and timing and see how it goes... wish me luck.

Ok guys, I got the same problem still today. It started wanting to die when I was driving it around here. Can someone give me a suggestion to how to fix it. Im thinking of changing the distributor and the cap but Im wondering if that would fix it somewhat.

My car had this same problem. I replaces the cs valve, ar, thermotime switch, rotor and cap, and plugs... nothing helped. I'm not sure if your having the same problems as i was, but it sounds like we are all having similair problems. Mine wouldn't start up right when cold, it would always take a few cranks and then ran sloppy for a little bit. A friend told me it might be the alternator (the third terminal) I was like "yea right" but it was making me mad so i decided to give it a shot. Well its been a few days since i replaced it and its been great. Believe it or not. I'll let you know if it happens again, but i honestly (oddly enough) think this might have fixed it.

Mine is now officially fixed. See the thread "JfairladyZ for PRESIDENT" for details.
