Default Bouncy idle

im running a auto ls ecu in my manual eg.even if i do the auto to manual ecu conversion,will it still idle badly?will the rev limiter still be the same as it is?the ecu is auto and so is the motor.will i have to swap the manifold with a manual one if i get a manual ecu?

yes it will if u have the auto manifold u need to do the IACV fix. Because one of the wires on the 3 wire IACV go to the auto plug.

no im running a ls motor with ls tranny and auto ls ecu.the motor is an from a auto car but mated with a 5 speed tranny.i would swap the ecu with a manual one but id have to swap the manifold with a manual one too right?i can do the auto to manual ecu conversion but as jimster said ill still have to do a iacv fix.so my question is:how do i do the iacv fix?if you have a easier setup that you recommend then shoot.

there is a wiring diagram for a IACV fix on the auto harness. It takes a 3 wire and turns it into 2 by combining 2 wires on the harness. I have the diagram for it somewhere. You can also put a patch in your TB to bypass the IACV.

[QUOTE=Blk00EJ8;33526943]

You said you're using an OBD1 jumper harness, your stock OBD2B auto harness, and an OBD2A engine. Your problems most likely lies in your mish-mash of wiring. To start, you can use your OBD2B auto harness, but you need to do the IACV plug fix. Read this:



The OBD2A difference of the engine doesn't matter and your engine harness plugs into all the sensors fine.

is this the iacv fix?let me clarify this so i dont screw up.if i do the iacv fix i HAVE to use a manual ecu.can i do the iacv fix and still use the auto ecu without having the idle problem?
