Normal cold idle should be around 1800rpm and slowly drop to the warm idle spec for your car. In your post, do you really mean 200 or 2000? If it's really 200, (the stock tach doesn't really indicate much below 500), I would suspect the Fast Idle Valve isn't working or not getting the signal to open.

yea if it really is at 200 check your idle air control valve
its a b18c5? definatley check the iacv and vacume lines.

Yeah well mines still in the Intake instead of the manafold...when they did the swap
they left it in there and said it should be fine...Also the vacume line coming off the throttal body just dangles with a screw in the end of it i guess to simulate full trottal..or some ****...

That's what ghetto riggers do to plug a vacuum nipple instead of putting a rubber plug on there that costs .02 cents.
