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.

 

idk which way 2 turn it but just try turning it either way..one directioin will make ur idle go higher and the other will turn it down

 

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.

 

Clockwise i believe. This will give you more slack.

 

possible vacuum leak?

 

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 if he has a constantly leaking intake manifold gasket.

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

i can gurantee its an vacum leak i had the same problem tried everything with the throttle cable and idler screw take throttle body cleaner and spray it along all the gasket points if it revs up there your problem.
