ohh I thought you meant it wouldn't come down in idle. lol

Executing the idle relearn procedure did not solve the problem.

Anyone know how to tell if the idle motor is doing what it's supposed to?

Turned out to be TPS sensor output voltage - the mod I made to adapt to the TPS that came with the GT40 intake/TB didn't work right. Fixed that, no more stalling.

All I need now is the Cobra tower brace to clear the new intake, and I can DRIVE this thing!

I'm so jazzed that it'll be another day before I get back to being frustrated at how long it's taking to ship that brace...

I havnt had one on mine for months now . A lot of guys don't bother with it.

Glad you got the idle thing cured though thanks for updating.

Yeah, I took mine off as well. Extra weight, not really needed unless you're taking corners like a boss

I succumbed to temptation and drove it around over the weekend. Didn't really push it - the tower brace should be here in a couple days and then I WILL be cornering like a madman... :-)
