Car stalling!!
Well, my car has had a bad idle for a couple weeks now. It idles really low, almost resting on 100rpm, alot of times stalling when I stop at intersections.
I tried adjusting the TB(Erick's Racing 68-66mm), but that didn't help at all. It just stayed the same with the IAC valve unplugged or not. I noticed right after installing the TB, could you guys give my pointers to check?
Please help me diagnose my problems.

Re: Car stalling!! (Alpha_GSR)
How do you have the adjustment screw on top of the throttle body? The car should idle about 400-500 with the IACV unplugged(with the engine warmed up of course)

Re: Car stalling!! (Jared)
When the IAC valve is unplugged, I can move the idle screw back and forth without affecting the idle at all. Currently the screw is almost all out.
I forgot to mention that the car will not idle at all when you first crank it, it'll crank then just die. You have to rev the car up before it'll keep idle. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
