[DML] Re: End of life for idle ECU's





My idle ECU died at 9,600 miles on the 81 you saw in PA. After a new 
idle speed motor & ECU, all is well again. 

Since I have you for a second, where did you get the LED's you use 
in your AC panel? I've looked around, but with no luck?


Later,

Joe OBrien
