RE: Idle problem
600rpms is a pretty low idle, could there possibly be a vac leak somewhere? Does the car die when you drive it regularly and then stop, or only if you get on it and stop. Anychance you can check the fuel pressure?
I dont know a lot, but im giving my 2 cents <3.

RE: Idle problem
yea it should be somewhere around 900, no vacuum leaks, yea it dies pretty much either way i drive it..and fuel pressure is fine, just put on a walbro 255lph pump, and kirban afpr, and pressure is good...i have a feeling it is something not adjusted right with the new throttle body plate

RE: Idle problem
Ryan, what is the TPS set at? It doesn't come preadjusted on that t/b? Also, you may need to set the base idle up (adjusting screw under the t/b)and then set the TPS. I ran my stock mass air for quite a while when I upgraded to the same t/b and plate you have. That shouldn't have anything to do with it. What intake are you running?

RE: Idle problem
Hmmmm, you shoulda waited in the upgrade. The stock inlet is quite a bit smaller on the intake. Not really gonna get much outa the new parts. I'm in Dela this weekend, otherwise I would help ya out. It's not that hard to adjust. There should be some links in our tech section on the sublect.
