guyyssssssssss i need help.........alright so i installed my emanage and got my car running and when i cold start it, the engine idles at about 500 rpms and wont rev at all for at least a minute.....then as it starts to warm up you can rev the motor but it will slowly lose idle all the way up until it gets warm...then i have no idle what so ever......not really sure what to do.......i have already taken off the iacv and air regulator and cleaned them up.....so im not sure what to do from here....any help would be awesome..........btw anybody that cares my car has just gone under a complete tranformation......ill post up some pics in a few days.....p.s. the transformation involves about 10 cans of flat black paint, an sr t-25g turbo, some earls stainless steel lines, a megan racing 3'' downpipe, and the newest addition an HKS dragger 3'' cat back exhaust.....this thing is going to be sweeeeet
