when the dealership did the ignition switch recall, they didn't replace the door locks ...
of note is the microswitch which can cause problems with the alarm system. note that the microswitch can't cause problems with the vacuum pump for the door locks - only a vacuum leak or vacuum pump problem will cause it to run constantly
Cool. I've used my finger to stop a vacuum leak that was causing the vacuum pump to run, so I will confirm that. Good to know it wasn't related to the door microswitch.

I have an AAZ that's always been a little sluggish. I'd been driving it with the cold start lever constantly pulled out because it would stall otherwise. This lead me to believe the timing was too retarded. When I checked it, it was at 0.73mm, which is within the "check range" but I decided to...
I have 1995 Cabrio with an AAZ swapped into it. Recently, I've been having starter troubles and am looking into some options as far as new starters go. I'm not sure exactly what starter is in there currently, but I did some reading on forums and such and it looks like a lot of people are saying...
