Hi, I just finished my SR swap a couple weeks ago, and since then have been having some issues with idling.

When I start the engine or stop after driving, it will go from about 2,000 down to almost stall, and pulse back and forth contuniously. It drives and runs fine otherwise. When I come to a stop it will stall if I don`t give it a little gas. I have ajusted the TPS to factory settings, gapped the plugs to where it doesn`t misfire, and adjusted the timing to where it runs smooth.

It is very anoying, and when I`m in town at a top light I feel like a douche because people think that I`m reving my engine contunuously haha...

Can anyone help me out with how I might fix this?

Thanks!

What kind of blow off valve do you have? If you have an atmospheric one it will cause problems like that, especially if it is leaking. I had the same problem and found out my bov was leaking so i replaced it and it doesnt do that anymore.

Do you have any ECU codes?

Just adjusting the timing till it sounds right is not good enough. You need to get a timing light and adjust the timing correctly, improper timing can cause all sorts of issues.

I have the stock blow off valve. It may actually be leaking... I had a suspicion that I could hear it leaking after boost but thought I was crazy.

No I don't have any ECU codes. The ECU I have is one I ordered that had been chipped/remapped/flashed whatever.
