Yep, got me a 97 STR manual for a decent price.
Needs a couple of little tidy ups but nothing major.

One thing I never saw when I was looking at it was that it doesnt like to idle when cold (was hot when I drove it).
It'll be fine when warm but I have to keep an eye on it for about 30 sec and keep the revs up to stop it dying.

I have traced it back to the stepper motor, has anyone got a buggered one they wanna let me have for cheap or free to try a repair on mine?
If its a success I'll do a writeup on it so others can have a go at theirs (not sure if this has been done, Im not a full member)

If you search for idle stepper motor there will be a couple of threads out there telling you what to do. Normally you don't need to buy a new one.

Yeah I had a look thru some threads.
Mine is clean inside but one of the coils inside is open so I wanna pull apart one that someone is gonna chuck and use it to fix mine.
