Do you have the air supply for the AAC valve plumbed in?If not as soon as you close the throttle plate it will stall.

adjust the throttle stop...

What does adjusting the throttle stop do?

the throttle plate should be fully shut and the TPS idle switch must be closed at idle. When this switch is closed the ECU takes control of the idle by altering the pulses of the AAC valve.

It's common that people forget to connect the AAC feed when fitting an FMIC.

here this makes cool reading too on setting up the TPS and AAC...

I have no AAC valve, a FMIC, and my car idles fine...

how did you manage that?

[Notchbackca]

its not as hard as you think, only things hooked to my manifold are the TPS boost gauge and FPR... all you need really

But how can it idle then?

[float_6969]

well if you adjust the throttle plate so that it doens't shut all the way it would work. It eliminates the throttle pick up for when you turn the A/C on though. I wouldn't do it if you want your A/C to work.

Hope the throttle cable doesnt come lose in traffic, lol.
