All you need to do is oversize hole in throttle body one or two drill sizes, and take throttle body set screw out from bottom of TB and screw it in from top so you can adjust it w/out removing tb each time. I set idle so car doesnt surge on hot restarts and let IAC counts fall where they may.No problems to date with a 112*LSA around 224* at .050" grind. Even ac works fine, i just shut it off before any retarts, once its running i can turn it on no problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I never had any luck raising the idle like that. The computer would just learn it out or if I went so far as to make the IAC pintel position reach zero it would set a code and the IAC would cease to work.

Anyway, moving to Computer Diagnostics and Tuning... <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
