Got the new nitto 555s on and man she handels like on rails! Got new iridium plugs and wires as well, and runs so pure now. But the idle is hanging at 1k rpm. But ideal normal at start up until I drive it around. It just started after picking it up from Firestone shop today. I haven't had a chance to investigate but hopefully tomarrow. Any ideals would be great help for a good starting place. Thanks!!

Try resetting your TPS

Unplug your TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor)
Turn your key to the second position right before cranking (keep it on for 30 seconds)
Turn key off and plug your TPS back in
Turn car on

See if that makes a difference

Shaper1

Ok , thank you. I'll try that and spray some starter fluid around, maybe something got bumped loose, vac leak or something

Shaper1

Started it up today and drive it and all is back to normal. Lol I don't know Guess it fixed it self!!

Shaper1

Installed a new TPS today because it would sometimes still hang a around 1k rpms. So we will see if that was the problem. And o also cleaned the Iac

Did you follow the steps to reset it?

Shaper1

No I didn't try the reset. But I was like well **** it ,i minus well buy a new one since its 14 years old. I haven't even got to drive it yet since I installed the new one. But when I do this weekend, I'll update with results. Thank you for the suggestion. If it don't fix it maybe I'll get a new iac

Lol. But it did fix it, no more hanging idle. Just thought I would throw this out there because you were correct about the hanging idle problem, sometimes I hear a bit of a ticking sound at idle. Could that be a lifter or just something with the belts/pullys. I guess I could run it threw a few exercises "hot/cold/ rev" to see when it is more present or none existent at different point and times. Thank you for your help. "Ho" yea also I have a bit of a gurgle then a slight Pop "sound when depressing the clutch at higher RPMs and up shifting. The car has longtub headers and high flow cats 3 inch exhaust pipes. I looked for leaks up and down but no signe of leaking exhaust. This is my first ls1 car so I'm just figuring out its character/ pros & cons

I put about a half quart of marvels mistery oi,l in the oil crank case and it has stopped the ticking noise
