Kenji, put about 1/4 can of carb cleaner into the hose that goes into the IAA control valve with the engine running. I cut my IAA hose in half and hooked up a 5/8" heater hose T connector for a port to put the carb cleaner into. Rev the engine so that it doesn't stall. Then pull off the EFI harness connector to the valve and turn the rpm adjustment screw so that your engine idles at 750 in neutral. Put it back on, and the engine should idle at 800.

Also check:

your tpsyour coolant temperature sensoryour fuel dampeneryour fuel pressure regulatoryour fuel filter (replace if old, it's $12)All of the electrical connectors on the front of the engine. Mine were really corroded and this was causing problems. If none of these things is the problem, ohm test your injectors.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice man, never heard of using carb cleaner that way, at least not with the z32. When she's nearly road worthy again, I'll give it a go and see what happens.
