depends on what your idle problem is. if its somethign as simple as a bad cold idle valve that makes your idle lopey it shouldnt matter much. more info.

My idle fluctautes on cold startup, about 500-1500rpm.
When it is warm, does it about 850-950ish rpm.
You can hear it surging.

Put on a different Throttle Body
Installed a Walbro Fuel Pump
Intalled a Aeromotive FPR.
Used Another IACV.
Changed Fuel Filter
Changed Plug Wires
Changed Plugs
Vaccum Hoses are good [used carb cleaner on them]
Tps is set to .45 Closed Throttle
Used 2 Other Stock ecu.


Please help me fix this guys

Sounds like a vacuum leak, you try looking into the fast idle air valve ?

This is what i did,.....


sprayed water from a water bottle arround the engine,
i did not notice any difference, also could be that my exhaust is too loud.

Tightened up the nipple/vaccum fitting from my aeromotive fpr , re tightened the intake manifold bolts... top side only.
and took out the pcv valve, and blew both directions on the valve.

I heard a very slight rattle from the pcv, im not sure if its supposed to rattle more?

Now upon doing that, its noticeable less surging...

what you guys think?
