Heh, mine isn't either, but I've been driving on horribly warped rotors for a couple of months now! (I think the wheel shake from it is opening my seals in my steering rack every time I brake, causing ATF to leak onto my exhaust which makes a nice smoke effect. )

I'm having the same weird problem you were having, except now mine's misfiring even during acceleration and stops misfiring after the car is off for at least 5 minutes after fully warming up.
Replacement TPS from Nate on the way, and once I get my phenolic spacers from Bobby I'll be replacing all the vacuum mess under the manifold as well.

ANYHOW: I'll let you know how the brakes are once I install them, as well as if I find a fix to lower our pesky high idle.

i got two armor all car care kits but from what i hear they may not actually be that good for the car.
I've heard excessive use does it. over time its dries out the material causing it to crack prematurely

Re: What did you get for christmas?

i would avoid using armor all and try a product called Aerospace 303 (http://www.autogeek.net/16oz.html). Ive used it for years and is by far one of the more highly suggested products
