Re: 94 90S stalling

[Benjamin Kwan <bkwan@lynx.dac.neu.edu>]

Hi all,

	I gave the mechanic a call this afternoon and asked for status.
He said that they were in the process of swapping out the ISV.  He also
mentioned that the one that was in the car originally was plastic and the
new one is metal.  This might be a stupid question, but are some ISV's
made out of plastic.

	After swapping out the valve he said it was noticeably better.  He
is right now in the process of test drving the car.

	Thanks to all listers who responded.
