Idle Stabilizer Control Box - located in front of the right rear tail light.

Someone on the list - and I am afraid I have forgotten who (aging
brain)- is reverse engineering that little puppy and putting together a
digital box as a replacement. I've not seen anything posted on it in a
while and I am just wondering what the status is. A digital replacement
would be a terrific boon to us all. I have two 88 GL's with the 2.1L WBX
and the control box doesn't work in either one. Those little beggars are
pricey if bought new, and if you buy used, you never know what you've
got - whether it will last a day or 100 years. Pretty iffy in my book.
