Johnny,
Yeah a pic from Gregorys would be good - if you could put it on your site it'd be great, otherwise I can PM you with a fax modem to send it to. Thanks for your help!
Tats,
My 7A-FE sits just over 800rpm, and i'd say my wifes 7A-FE is around 850-900rpm (hers is an auto mine is a manual, hers is a '94, mine is a '96)
Wow a litre of oil a week - how much driving do you do?
My 7A-FE tends to idle not badly but the inconsistent idle is there and is something I want to sort out coz its bugging me and I don't want to sit on my hands about it if its doing damage (whatever it may be).
I've found that when it idles you can actually watch the needle sway up and down (have to look close) and then every now and then you can hear the engine "struggle" for half a second if that and the needle drops slightly and then the engine seems to recover. It can do it up to 3-4 times while stopped at a single set of lights. My wifes 7A-FE doesn't do this so I know its not normal (benefits of having a second car to double check with!)
Thanks for your help guys.
Paul
