Almost bought a 1994 854T 850 1994

I didn't make it to strandbergs because I had some other responsibilities that were too pressing. To be honest i'm glad I didn't go.

My mechanic took the car Monday morning and changed the plugs distributor and rotor. He put the engine mount in. Because I didn't get the ECT code again I had him hold off on replacing that.

He also, of his own accord, plumbed up the intake hose and the plumbing plugged into that. The turbo labeled box is not all plumbed up and the car doesn't do that annoying hesitation at 2500 RPM's and my gas mileage is up to 26 mixed highway and city driving. The turbo kicks in but not very strong and I feel it won't get any better as it's old. Like you said "it's tired". Overall the car is running nice.

Now I think I need to figure out the pedal sensor thing as that's the only code coming up on the ABS port.

Any clue on how to deal with that pedal sensor or even where it's located?
