Default Please Help!!!!!

I see alot of people are having idle problems. After I put the mods in my sig back on last week the car surges at idle and when I am slowing down and my clutch is engaged the car will drop around 400 rpm and when I come to a stop it comes back to about 800 rpm. At idle my Idle Air Control Motor Position is between 85 and 92. I have read it should be around 30. Could the IAC be my surgeing problem?? If so what can I do to fix it, and if not what could it be????? Thanks In Advance....Scott

You can drop your IAC value & also raise the idle speed slightly by adjusting the idle set screw w/ a #15 Torx wrench. Adjust it a little bit at a time & monitor IAC & idle speed.

If your mods are fairly recent, give the PCM some time to adjust. My car took a couple of weeks before the idle settled down, but now it's almost perfect.

Also check to ensure you have no vacuum leaks. What is your MAP at idle?

I had the mods on the car for about 7 months and it was doing the surging before. I had to switch the car back to stock for the dealer to work on it and it ran fine. Now with the mods beack on it's doing the surging again......Scott
