Re: High Idle

Sounds like a bad/dirty IAC. Very common for some reason.

Re: High Idle

IAC = Idle Air Control

Re: High Idle

With my Acufab I had my predator hooked up, I read the TPS (throttle position sensor) voltage and had to adjust the voltage down to .94 I think it was (this was like 6 years ago, but the thread on the TPS voltage are in here). This is done by loosening the two TS screws a tad and adjust (rotate) the TPS while looking at the tuner till the proper voltage was achieved. Then just tight the two TPS screws and test drive.

Re: High Idle

I put one of these on mine. You might have to enlarge one of the holes if the rpms drop too fast.

I just put an Accufab TB on a few weeks after the restrictor and nothing changed. The only thing I noticed about the TB is when cruise control is engaged the car speeds up about 2-3 mph and then settles.

Re: High Idle

For now I'm cheating I made my own gasket with only 1/4" holes. The car will not idle higher than a 1000 rpm. I will buy a programer, and fix it the right way.
