Couple of questions

Hey all,
-Trying to order some Euro lights today for my 86 4kq.  The best price that
I could find was from Blau, at $179 each for the H4 lights (not the H4/H1
set).  Only problem is, I can't get through to them on the phone, as it says
the line is not in service.  I have been using (920)758-3234.  Anyone know
what happened?
-Next question, anyone have a sunroof switch for this car?  The one that I
have is functioning, but it is from a different model car, and doesn't mount
properly.
-Last question.  My '86 4kcsq has had what I assume to be ISV problems for a
while, where it will fluctuate in speed at cold idle, for 30 seconds or so.
It will swing between 900 and 2000 rpm.  Recently though, it has been having
hot start problems too.  When it has been sitting for 15 minutes to an hour,
it will crank for a long time, then when it finally does start, it feels
like it is only running on a couple of cylinders.  When I try to give it a
little gas, it makes it worse, and slows the idle even more.  The car runs
wonderfully when it gets going, has a good amount of power for an NA, and
doesn't seem to stumble at idle.  I have run a couple of bottles of Redline
fuel system cleaner through, in case it was an injector problem.  Helped on
power a little, but didn't help the starting issue.
I'm thinking that I am developing a leaky injector?  Doesn't make complete
sense to me, but I don't know what else it would be.  I would think that it
was a leaky check valve for the fuel system, except for the fact that it
doesn't run correctly after the longer cranking time.  Past experience on my
Porsche 944 with a leaky check valve caused similar long cranking problems,
but it ran fine when it did start.  What should I look for?
Thanks everyone!

PS.  Cincinnati area listers, any interest in a beer night?
