New Guy Hey everyone.
Just stumbled on here, great site! Wish I would have found it sooner. Lots of good info.
I have a 66 Corvette coupe with a Paul Newman conversion with 96 Vette suspension and 99 Camaro LS1/6 speed. It has been running about a month and has about 100 checkout miles on it so far. Everything is done except the interior and a few loose ends. I have a Phil Wyatt harness and Ed Wright did the PCM re-programming to get rid of the VATS stuff and all the other niggling code setters. I live in SoCal so it doesn't need to be smogged. I am running a check engine light which remains off except for ign on check. I have noticed it idles a little high(8/900) and the tach needle flutters a little. Do I need to do an idle relearn or some other trick to get the idle to 600 or so. Thanks in advance.
Nick

Re: New Guy Is that 800 rpm in gear? I fire mine up in neutral and it runs about 1000 rpm cold. I have not driven it too far just yet and never noted the rpm when warmed up....still debugging everything. Should be taken its first voyage this weekend.

Re: New Guy 67 Camaro,
It idles about 1100 cold but settles to 800 after 20-30 seconds so I guess it's doing what it's supposed to. Yes, thats in neutral. Good luck with the first venture out of the garage!
Dale,
I have a ton of pics but haven't figured out how to post them, duh.

Re: New Guy If you have some space on a server, just FTP the picture there and supply a link. Your ISP can help you with that. Here's and example.
http://www.circuitflex.com/Front1.jpg
circuitflex.com is a domain I bought for 10 bucks a year and it came with a hosting site that I use to store all my pictures. I use an FTP program called WS_FTP Pro. There are other ways. Some folks on here use a site just for photos. Maybe one of them can chime in and give some details.

Re: New Guy Well gee that sounds easy 
now I know why I haven't done it yet. I hope it sounds more complicated than it is. I am better with cars than I am with computers.
Thanks,
Nick
