Default Think I fixed my idle problem, well I hope.

was nice out today so I got a chance between classes to tinker on the mustang. Last friday I cleaned the IAC and cleaned out the TB as best as I can.

that helped the car idle a bit better, tho the CEL was still on/off

so I adjusted the TPS today, my multimeter was reading 1.06 volts initially, and adjusted it to the right measure .98 volts the CEL isnt on anymore when I let her idle for 10 minutes... didnt drive around as I had to get to class and was low on gas as it was....

she idles nicely around 800-1000 rpm... I may have to reset the idle, but I'll see how she drives tomorrow when I go to work... hopefully its nice so I can put the top down...
