Anyone else read that he is disconnecting the battery every night after he lets it run for a bit. When you do this, you are re-setting the tune and every time you hook it back up, the car must re-learn the tune/idle. Leave the battery hooked up and start it/let it run a few times. I bet after 5 or so cycles it will start to idle smoother. Same thing happened to me when I fired up my new motor, wouldn't idle by the 3rd start it was starting to idle around 750. The IAC counts may also be messing it up, but try leaving the battery hooked up.

Also, if you are afraid of draining the battery because you just re-wired it, there is no way it should die over night. 3-4 days maybe, but you would have to have the radio stay on all the time to kill it that quick. But regardless, if you want, you can pull the accessory and few other fuses that are not associated with the computer if you want to be sure. Then to be really sure, you can go under the dash and pull the relays. This will allow you to let it sit with the bat. hooked up and not worry about the battery dying every few days.

Transmaro, just wondering if you made any more progress on this. I just started up my own fresh rebuild and it won't idle either lol, also wont' rev much past 5K. I'm just curious if you found anything, I haven't dug deep into mine yet, but I will let you know if I find something.
Thanks,
Bill

My $02 is to do the drill mod. start with 1/8" hole and measure IAC counts. Drill in 1/64" incriments until it is right....11/64" is where I landed. BE CAREFULL AND DON'T DRILL TO BIG

for the most part left the battery connected, hooked the exhaust up, and gave it a little bit of fresh gas. let it idle till it warmed up, checked everything out and it looked pretty good. it definitely needs to drive around some but for now its going good.
