Gooding looking car. How's it run?

Like a champ I'm pretty sure, I'd have to pit it against another healthy v6 to compare, but it feels solid all around.
My only concerns are that the temp gauge moves... but mainly stays several millimeters off the cold side of the scale, the headlights have to be cranked, the passenger power window won't roll, and that it's idling at around 1,200RPM right now.
Aside from that, it's a good catch for $1,800.

When my 2.8 idled fast the egr tube had a hole in it. I repaired my headlights with a Rodney Dickman kit.

Thanks all, I'm still getting used to driving, but it's just great anyways...

Yes, when it's warm it's settling at around 1,200RPM now. I'd still like to see the engine running in ship shape all over though.
I'll have to look into the repair kit...

More thanks all around.
I do feel very lucky to have it, it's totally awesome, best first car ever! And great for summer driving!! I've been oggling Fieros for ages and doing all my homework, it's quite the feeling to finally own one.
Once I get a CD player or at least radio working I'll be set...

Yeah, I don't know why photobucket is giving me so much flak, my hosted materials don't get THAT much traffic at all!
