Okay I think it's something else...It seems like it's overcharging, the light only comes on when I'm over 2500 RPM and when it does come on all my electronics work faster and stuff. Is there a relay or something I should be checking instead? Or a resistor or something? Could oil on the connector plu...

ABS brake question

Hey I'm currently purchasing 4 used brake calipers with fairly new pads and rotors, because I have a seized caliper and 2 bad rotors, plus need pads anyways. So my question is, I have a 93 SE with ABS, with brakes of a non SE still work for me?

Idle question

Is it normal for my idle to drop to 400ish RPM's when I push in the clutch at a light? If the clutch isn't in it's at 1000ish. Thanks in advance!

So, If you had already ran codes and it was clean, checked the exhaust system and it was good, replaced the air filter/plugs ect, what else would you suspect? Im all out of idea's and it's frusterating.
