Toysrme Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 dummy me i saw there was an allen screw adjustment on the body where the cables are located eg:gas peddle and cruise control cables i messed with that hoping to lower thwe idle.....then i realized the plug was not connected....re-connected and ran the car now the car idles low and stalles sometimes while at a stoplight I don't think you need us. You've pretty much answered your own post. Somebody needs to set histhrottle plate back where it belongs & reset his ECU. Just make sure you don't have any other vacuum lines, or electrical connections missing after you do that.

SKperformance Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Also make sure you did not make more deposits of carbon in the idle bypass from the cleaning which caused an accumilation of residue.
