To reset the computer I followed a procedure that I found on the corral.net site. I unplugged the battery for about 30 minutes, then I unplugged the IAB valve, plugged the battery back in and started the car. At this point it said to set the desired idle using the throttle plate screw, but the car was already idling where at around 600 - 700 rpms. Then I turned off the car, plugged the IAB valve back in, started it and let it idle for 2 minutes with no accessories on, then turned it off, then started it again and let it idle for 2 minutes with all accessories on, then turned it off. They said that the computer would learn to idle at the rpm's that the car idled at with the IAB valve unplugged but it didn't work.
Is there another way I should reset the computer?
Also, this may be a really dumb question but...the car ran fine with the IAB valve unplugged. I didn't take it for a drive but I revved it in my driveway. Is it really neccesary to have the valve plugged in?

Thanks again!
Mike
