Re: Steps to get the car to idle correctly
Before I can start troubleshooting my idle, I needed to finish my exhaust, it was just a 3" straight pipe.

When we finished welding it up, I wanted to hear what the car sounded like with the quiet muffler. So i got in the car and turned it on...but I didnt have to hold down on the gas, it idled! WTF!

so we raised it up, while running, and opened the exhaust shutter, the car died!

The additional back pressure must have something to do with keeping the car alive while idling!
