I put the Corsa's on my 1992. They sound nice, better than stock, for sure. Must be 10 years back now I got them, through the Forum on a special, I believe.

A buddy at work asked me if I knew of anyone in the general area that is good with C4s as his Dad's 1989 needs work.

Great recommendations. I'm not sure when they were last done, but it was years ago, probably, during the engine rebuild. However, I don't think I've put 5K miles on it in that time ... sadly

It ran only if it was given gas. If I wasn't applying pressure to the accelerator, it would choke off.

I had a similar problem a few years back.

This time, on my last gas-up, the place I got...

It wouldn't maintain idle, so if I drove it around, at most redlights, I'd be constantly feathering the clutch to depress the accelerator to bring the revs up. That's just not feasible.

I'll have to look up the folks who did the install, if they're still in business. I do not think any of the plugs have been cut. The wiring, we're not so sure of.

Has anyone reversed, going back to the standard opti ?
