The idle is controlled by the throttle body opening and closing, not a seperate idle motor like a cable throttle car, so often it has to relearn how to idle after resetting the ECU.

Gotcha. So do I rev it do keep it idling to help it learn? It seems to fall on its face if I let it go by itself. It will go down all the way to 400-500rpms and just die.

I could drive it, but I had to rev it lots to keep going.

Let it learn, if it idles low, but doesn't stall, let it. Extra learning is always needed, especially with cams, a large MAF pipe, and a ported throttle body.

K...no ported TB here, just big cams and MAF pipe.

Rev3 mani and ported TB are all I have left on my plate for upgrades which won't happen anytime soon.

idle recovered today just fine after a good while of learning. I think the problem was starting out hot when the idle was lower. When i started it cold the idle is higher anyway so it kept it running long enough to learn.

YAY!

Got my eibach springs and whiteline RSB installed tonight. Took a while but nothing too terrible. Thanks again Chet for the "new" endlinks, most appreciated.

BIG THANKS to shawn (simulatedwood) for the help, he is the man. I am going to attempt to repay his kindness by helping him with his exedy twin install...and bringing beer for that one

No more Murlo lift kit crap now, I am pleased. The car feels pretty damn good now and sits just where I want it. The fender rolling worked perfect it seems as no rubbing yet. The eibachs are pretty stock feeling until you hit a good bump then they are stiff but not too terrible.

Overall very happy.

Sad note, my alignment is so far off it seems that you can tell the wear on the inside is already returning. My alignment is this friday to take care of that and I will swap tires in the front to the back. Nothing bad at all, but sucks that in only like 500 miles you can even tell. My guess is the multiple motor swaps screwing alignment up not the alignment itself.

Oh, also the spacer Shawn helped me put in for the new belt seems to have done the trick. After 500ish miles the belt looks perfect. So a plus there.

Good news! I think you are due for some of that. LOL

Indeed!

Nice, so are you saying if we make fun of you in order to do a mod you will do it?

Too bad it's got such a tiny turbo!
