After 6 months of trying to figure out why she can'nt idle on her on weather she is hot or cold,last week i was out in the parking lot with her and i blew my top and screamed so loud that several neighbors in my building looked out like someone got murdered in the front of my building.i've been playing it kool since last year even when doing my head gasket job.I think what pissed me off was thinking that if i can do a head gasket job i can certinly figure out the idle problem.So rite after i blew my stack within 30 seconds afterwards found that #*@ problem.I felt like such an idiot.The mass air flo plug had a loose fit.i tightened it with a shoe string,untill i can make it to the junk yard a get the CLIP that goes around the plug.did'nt realize how inportant those CLIPS are.

I hope thats your problem and nothing serious.it was so depresing to have to use your left foot for the brake while your right foot was fighting the R.P.M arm.To everybody you lern something new.and the importants of the simple clip that secures the connections.

like how high does it idle? mine likes to idle like 1500 ish, and randomly surge up and down, or just not idle, well, barely idle

was thinking possibly tps

Could be. I think the ECU will want to still make it idle, that's why the surge. Fairly easy to set it with a meter.

mine would'nt idle when she was cold.but when she was warmed up sometime she would idle high around 1500rpms.
