Default Idling

Hi, My car never seems to consistently idle at 1000revs, it usually idles at 800rpm and goes to 1000rpm and back down to 800rpm - is this normal?

Doesnt seem to cause any problems.

I have never done the idle learn procedure, but when i have reset the ECU i have just let the car idle for 5-10mins then go for a blast id of thought by now it would have learned idle.

Could be a clogged IAC valve.

Me and Kiwi were looking at the crap they can attain.

I dont think its that, i only cleaned it 6 month ago and it wasnt that dirty middle chamber is always the most dirty.

Is the thick line 1000rpm, because it hardly ever stays on that.

Yep, I think the line is 1k.

When warm, mine idles well below that, then occasionally it momentarily idles higher, then drops down again.

Now i just need to recieve the manifold, rig up the cold air feed and fit the spoon ECU
