Hopefully i'll get a tip at some point. I am having a new issue, you heard in the video the bad idle when it first starts, up and down. Sometimes it wont start on the first try, other times it kinda sputters to life. Stopped by my mechanic today and he thinks its a MAF sensor issue. Tommorow they're going to clean the MAF sensor and the throttle body and see if the previous owner has had a tune up done recently.

Finally got to try my new bosch icon wipers, but the leave a fog behind after each wipe

Try rubbing them with rubbing alcohol to see if there was just a residue on them.

yea it got stuck a while back, we took the glass off and then got the arms to go down and then re attached the glass.

Mechanic cleaned my MAF sensor and throttle body today, he said the throttle body was a mess. I'm noticiing better throttle response since then but my lope idle is still there. He thinks its a bad MAF sensor or a fuel delivery problem, and i'm pretty sure my thermostat is busted too. So much for heat this winter Otherwise the car runs good and sounds awesome with the new muffler

Have you tried cleaning/replacing the IAC? Changed the fuel filter? Why not just change the t-stat if it's bad?

Until i just googled what an IAC was i have never even heard of it. I'll keep that in mind, i have not bothered with the fuel filter. The tstat is in a crappy location and i dont have the knowledge or a place to work on the car. And i'm not about to shell out money for the garage to do it right now. My mechanic said its even a pita job for them too.

Gotcha. So you don't have heat? You could have a bad heater core as opposed to a bad t-stat.
