Re: my car idles at 500 Mine idles at about the same after my Vig3200 install. What I've read is that there is a Hex nut on the bottom of the TB that you can adjust to open the TB blade a hair and bump up your idle.
Anyone have any DETAILED info on this? Thanks...

Re: my car idles at 500 If you look at your throttle body, there is a screw under the throttle. It's actually a small torx. it's hard to reach but you can turn it a bit and crack the blade a bit. Too much and you will set an SES lite. I bet it would help you guys. I forget the torx size but Paulie knows.

Re: my car idles at 500 its a T15 and it works better if you take the TB off, remove that screw from the bottom and RE-install it from the top so you can easily adjust it anytime in the future <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
