NOW... I have some questions.



The idle goes from like 300 to like 2200 and just flutters back and forth like that.. (Like in the end of the video). Is that the PFC trying to learn or someshit? When I FIRST started the car a few weeks ago, it acted normal, then after a second or two, it starting doing the fluttering crap. I've checked for a vacuum leak, and that's not it. Anything else to look for? It's too late now.. And the car is WAY too loud to keep starting.. Thanks for all the help. _)

describe "fluttering"



You are completely sure you don't have any vacuum leaks? MAP is hooked up? All your rails and injectors have new insulators/orings?



All grounds are good?

Make sure nothing is near the CAS...

Let the car run for a bit and see if its the PFC... if not, try adjusting the TB's adjustment screws.

I'm POSITIVE there is no vacuum leaks.. There almost can't be. Anyway, the fluttering is just the idle revvs up to 2200, then down.. Up to 2200, then down, and keeps doing that..



Grounds are good. I actually hate to say that I think that's what fixed the car.. But anyway.. Nothing near the CAS..



Map sensor good.. Injectors and rings good.



I only let id idle for 15-20 seconds.. But it didn't seem to stop. I'll get back to it in the A.M. and see what she does. Thanks!!

At least let the motor break in before you paint the streets black.So what was that problem you were having?
