Idle setting procedure

89fast5oh · 02-15-2004, 03:13 AM

I was wondering what the proper way was to have the computer re-learn the idle after installing a cam, head, intake, ect...?
The car ran fine for 5 months but a month before i was going to put it away for the winter, it developed and surge and stall problem on warm starts. It just seemed weird to me that it would all of a sudden do this.

Good instructions, but don't mess with the TPS. You will only create more problems.

I got all the problems straitend out, now the car starts and ildes like a dream machine. Also as a side note with my new engine and all my mods I don't even get a Check Engine light and the computer shows no codes. Now thats how a modded car should act like!
