HELP : Idle Problem
I just swapped a 95 JDM GSR into my 95 Teg LS. Im listing these mods because they might help figure out the problem. It has a Skunk2 Pro Series IM, CTR Intake Cam, and then IHE. It runs great, no check engine light. It has 1 problem though, it idles back and forth from 1000 to 2200. I checked and all my hoses are hooked up to the IM, when I first start it though it idles just fine at like 2200. Then it just starts going back and forth when its warm. I cleaned the IACV out today and it seemed a little better but didnt fix it. Anyone got any ideas?

Re: HELP : Idle Problem (rustyhatch)
Well, I pulled the clip off of the IACV and it idled steady at like 1400 at operating temp. I have not tried to clean the IACV again. It doesnt throw a code until I pulled the clip for the IACV off. Then if I plug the IACV in it idles between 1000 - 2200 again. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: (boosted_teg)
Are you talking about the FITV? Its right under the throttle body with like 3, 10mm bolts. I havent tried it but theres a screw that comes loose and you have to tighten it up right? Is that what your talking about?

Re: HELP : Idle Problem (j87w)
I kinda had the same problem when I put my skunk2 IM. I tried 2 things, 1st I loosned/tightened a screw on the throttle body. I messed with it till it sounded a lil better and Idled steady. When it started idleing funny agian I took the idle control valve off and stretched the spring till it looked normal and put it back together agian and its worked fine. Every once in a while the control valve messes up agian but isntead of buying it Im just do the same steps, good luck.
