3. “We recognize and agree that the Intoximeter 3000 has gained scientific acceptance in Idaho as noted in State v. Wilson, [ 116 Idaho 771 , 780 P.2d 93 (1989) ], and in numerous other jurisdictions as observed in State v. Hartwig, [ 112 Idaho 370 , 732 P.2d 339 (Ct.App.1987) ], however, use of test results from the Intoximeter 3000 in the courts of this state remains subject to proper foundation and evidence being presented.”
