Thanks XR9UTE,

The IAC valve? Is that the cylinderical looking thing on the side of the TB. I did disconnected the TPS when doing it.

I checked the spring and all OK.

well I had a crack at setting TPS voltage and Idle.

I have set my idle to where I want (950rpm - got a cam) and then set the TPS to 0.98v. However, if I blip the throttle the idle runs on.

What would be the cause of this?

cheers


by run on I mean it settles down after about 2-3 seconds.

Aha!
Want me to flash it to a manual?
On the other hand 2-3 secs ain't much, could be something else.
You need to disconnect your IAC/ISC valve when setting your idle.

thanks mate, but BPT who did the conversion would have done it.

I think :roll: They stuffed up the whole job, so wouldn't surprise me.

do you work for a tuning shop?

Give Barry a call and get him to sort it.
I do some part time stuff mainly for my mates these days as I simply don't have the time.

well I had a go at adjusting idle with ISC valve disconnected. Didn't do anything - still has that 2-3 secs idle run on. It runs on to about 1200rpm, from a set 950rpm.

I might try a clean of the ISC.

Also, when BPT did the conversion, they installed a seimans ratio box. My speedo failed on the weekend (I tell ya this car is jinxed) and i checked out this box, and the wiring job looks like it was done by a 10 year old :x I fixed it up best I could, but the speedo still doesn't work. Would this affect idling in anyway?

cheers
