First start up after skunk2 manifold install. High idle doesnt go down after warm up.
So after many many weeks of my buildup im almost done. Last night was the first start up of my car after many many weeks. It started up on the first try, and with no check engine lights. (plus sign there) But the idle was high at first around 1500 rpms(normal cold startup idle). But once warmed up the idle did not drop. It stayed around 1200 rpms consistent.
Also a slight humm from the timing belt area. Im pretty sure its too tight, simply adjusting the tensioner will solve this correct?

check your throttle cable and make sure its not too tight and check your idle screw located on your throttle body...turn it until your idle is running normal ..this should be a quick fix my friend had the same problem after his skunk2 manifold install

yeah it is a common problem, I believe with the skunk2 they recommend the type r throttle cable, but you can use yours for now just check that screw on the end of the throttle cable.

Which way do I turn the screw...counter clockwise to turn idle down? ALso I am running a type r throttle cable and bracket.

make sure there is a little slack in the line, but you don't want it too tight either because it will keep the throttle body open. I am not sure of the top of my head in which way to turn the screw.

naww ... usually a vaccum leak will cause the idle to rev up and down, because the line builds pressure, the leak opens, you lose pressure, and it builds it up again

Not necessarily. I had the same problem with my car, and the gaskets would always make the idle go up and down.
