Thread: Idle problem...

Ok, after some months of driving with the AAC and FICD disconnected, since my stock connectors didn't reach up there, I made some extensions and connected them. The idle is really good now, it doesn't bog anymore when I turn on the lights or something else, it actually fixed some AFR problems I had on cold idle as posted on another thread.

But then next day I turned the car on, the engine went all the way to 2500rpm, then after like 30 seconds it starts to slowly go to like 1200rpms, and it stays there until the engine gets to the normal operating temperature, where the idle stays at 800rpm.

I really don't like that when the engine is super cold and all the oil is on the oil pan, it immediately revs that high, after starting it, is not really good for the engine life. And it is not the cold idle, the cold idle is good at 1200rpm, but right after I start, it goes to 2500 and stays there for some seconds.

Any ideas or inputs on this?

Your answer is here...

eggman asked this a few days ago, i posted the link to the thread on the sr20forum. we really need this stickied over here.

Thanks a lot man, but on that thread on the old forum, I see a lot of different instructions, what of all that should I try first, adjust the throttle body?

its the instructions about the little allen head screw on the tb.

Thanks!! I'll try that tonight.

Sounds like a healthy engine to me. =/

my car does the same in the morning when its really cold outside.

It wont be if it keeps revving to 2500rpm when all the oil is ice cold and on the oil pan.

Problem fixed!!
That's what I love about forums!
