Okay so my tokico hp struts have just gone to s**t so now i'm trying to find some new struts. I bought some cheap ones from advanced will be taking them back today and ordering some kyb agx's. Can only hope that they will come in quick. Hate having my car down. I was planning on changing everything out and being done today. Car show/meet is today looks like i will just be taking the si. BOOO. Ohh well ohhh and since i didn't get any help in suspension thread i figure i might as well ask here as well. Anyone know how to get the oem top hat off. Yes I know remove the nut. I got one off had to cut at the damn rubber for a little while until could tear out that mount. Was a huge pain. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So i just took off my old map sensor and put on a new speedfactory 4 bar map sensor yay. It sounds a lot calmer i suppose you can say. Strange i know but anyways. I have had one more problem with the car and i just can't seem to get rid of it after all the replacing i have been doing but it has allowed me to center on my problem. My idle after i hit the pedal will stay up until i pull on throttle pedal with my foot. Now then the problem has got to be dealing with my throttle cable somewhere. Have tried tampering with it a little bit but I am still having the problem. I would like to think that it is a need for car to relearn idle however since i have tried this already a few times i do not think that is my problem. Now then I need to know exactly how to check on throttle cable or if it might be the pulley. I have visually checked the butterfly valve on throttle body and i know that it is clean. I haven't checked it when it is holding higher idle. Now then any ideas GO
if you have not fixed this, try pulling the throttle body off the car and taking the throttle plate asslebly out. they get gritty in the area where the valve pivot bar goes thru inside the throttle body bore.

take it completely apart and soak it all in gasoline.... should help out
