won't hold idle
I finally got it running after LE1 install, but in order to make it start/hold idle, I need to give it a little gas. Is there an idle adjustment screw that would help solve this, or is it possible I reinstalled the TB wrong so the blades don't hold the correct possition? Still has stock tune.
EDIT: Just so you know, everything looks real promising for a good install. At 2k rpm, it holds oil pressure at the 3rd line, which is what, about 60 psi?
Also, to get it started, its more of a pumping action than just holding it steady, but I havn't tried just holding it steady yet.
EDIT 2: It will start up great when I hold the throttle about half way, then back off again so as not to rev the heck out of it.
Notes:
Answer this and I will get up a video
I have also deleted all my other posts asking for help with teh start up.

Also, if it's a stock TB with an airfoil on it, you'll need to remove the airfoil. It gets in the way of the IAC inlet, not letting enough air in to hold idle. This happened to me when I first got my car up after the ported heads/HOTcam install.

Re: won't hold idle
thanks, thats was a good read. But from the looks of it, can't I just adjust the stop screw for a temporary fix until I can get it tuned?
EDIT: whoah, where teh linky go? Anyway, I'll try taking ount the airfoil.

I just tried removing the airfoil, didn't work, but then again I forgot to hook up the MAF/other sensor thing.
Back to the garage...

Re: won't hold idle
Well, I'm done for tonight. I got a video if I can find someone to host it. Still need throttle to start, but I'll try and fix it tommorow. I just need to get it running well enough to be able to drive to the muffler shop then get it dyno tuned, probably about 100 miles total, but alot in town, and I don't want it dying on me in traffic.
Oh, wait, I'll be dropping it of at 2am cause of noise
