Fixed stumbling idle
 
I corrected the stumbling my MP3 had.

I cleaned up the battery terminlas and this fix it instanly. The terminals weren't " dirty", just not shiny. So I scuffed them up till they were nice and shiny and the car ran perfectly after that. I also noticed after about 1 to 2 hours of driving the car acceleration was getting better and stronger. I am catching second gear now! I have 19,000 miles on my MP3! I could never catch second gear before!

I guess there was something to that thread about adding additional grounds then huh?

if the car is going to be that adversly effected by some oxidation on the termainals you may want to locate some anti-oxidating conductive grease that ELECTRICIANS use on commercial batteries and put some on the terminals of your battery.....it certainly couldn't hurt!
