101001, idle problem
Posted by White_eclipse, Sep-18-06 09:11 AM
Alright here it goes. i just installed an obx intake manifold new throttle body with new sensors. i have been driving it and it will not idle below 1500 rpm. and after i let off the gas the idle kicks up just a little more and then starts idleing at 1500.

Are you sure the sensors are good?

Did you file some off the throttle plate adjuster away to aadjust the throttle linkage correctly?

You have a vacuum leak somewhere. after doing what ^he^ said check the mating survaces of all the parts your installed and check all the vacuum hoses.

i just started driving my car and when its warming up it idles at 1500 and when i warms up it idles at about 1700 and surges to around 2200. when im stoped. i check for leaks and i could not find any.

check harder. Or your IAC is malfunctioning. Most likly there is a vacuum leak somewhere... a rather large one.
