Yet another idle problem fixed! 200 1990

The car had poor idle since I cleaned out the air intake system and did a tune up (plugs, cap & rotor). The idle would drop to the point that it felt like it would stall, but never did. The car ran fine at 1500rpm and higher. I replaced the ignition wires which took care of the idle problem. One advise to anyone hunting an idle problem: get OEM wires!! Never use aftermarket ones! Bought mine at Pepboys last year August, and it didn't even last a year!!

Thanks to all for helping me narrow this down.

Cheers,
SM
