So my car is aggravating the hell out of me still. I just have yet to find the problem or maybe I have I just need to talk another approach. So my car has been having a fluctuating idle and hard to get started. I have been having to hold the rev limiter up until car warms up little bit of a pain but i could deal with that. However my problems continue with the idle. I pulled off the piping and checked for leaks. Car died after putting hand over throttle body so good sign their. Went and pulled the iacv off and sprayed it down with some brake cleaner wiped clean and let it sit to dry. Reinstalled the iacv and went for a drive. Still had a little bit of a fluctuating idle. It wasn't as bad as its been but its not where it should be. I also have been having problems where while driving after i go to a stop the car idles really high. I'm talking almost 2g. I have to push up on my gas pedal and the idle will go down. Its not every time that it does this but still unsure on why it has been doing this. PLEASE HELP

You will have to remind me of all the mods you have done. Fluctuating idle can usually be narrowed down to IACV, or FITV, or air in the cooling system.

I am wondering if it is just to gummed up in their which will cause me to just need a new one.

^^I cleaned some before and it didnt change because it can still get seized up. Too bad they're so expensive.

Ok so still have a probkem I believe my tps sensor is the fault on this one. The first drive was fine after installing new iacv however when I went on another drive the idle was still fluxing a little. My cat would also stall after being on pedal little more. I know its not best description or all faults however after searching for my problems and checking out for solutions I hope I found my problem. Hooray for google. Now its a matter of checking my tps sensor with the lack of room I have. Might just go ahead with ordering a new blackworks.

So idle is finally working correctly. Screw i suppose had come out the bottom of the tps sensor and after setting the tps and putting in the new screw she idles perfectly and is no longer sticking. I have to go pick up a new castle nut since that appears to have come off as well some how along with some new cotter pins. Still have to set up time to get dump tube made. After that as long as everything stays running well then it will be time for a tune at t1.
