Idle control removal???

[roplusbee]

I finally got all of my Power FC stuff in. I want to remove the stock idle controls so that I can eliminate the issues that they cause. I would also consider replacing those items with new or known good parts. It seems that the Power FC can control all of the stock valves functions, but has anyone sone that before successfully? I ran searches for various combinations of the words "CA18DET IACV removal" and got no love. Perhaps my search skills are limited in that I am not using the correct words to get the result that I am looking for. If anyone can point me inthe right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

You could do it like this:

1- remove the idle block and blank off the two holes.

2- loosen off the lock nut, and adjust open the throttle body 3 or three turns.

3- loosen the TPS adjuster, and reset the TPS to compensate for the movement you've just put onto the throttle butterfly. Adjust TPS according to the FSM.

4- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the idle is smooth and approximately 800rpm when cold.

After this, your car will stall more often at traffic lights when car is cold.The slightly open throttle may result in the throttle icing up, in cold climates.

You are better to replace / fix the idle control stuff unless you live in a florida climate. But be prepared for A/C to occasionally stall the engine too.

Damn, that is not what I wanted to hear. Guess I will continue the search for replacement parts...........
