wow i like this idea... copper cap huh. Do you have any clue what size hole? And, does it hurt your engine in any way ?? or hurt mpg ??

This is the cheapest fix possible. Go to your friendly neighborhood hardware store and buy a 1/2 inch copper pipe cap.If you don't already have one get a 3/16 inch drill bit also.Take everything home and drill a 3/16" hole in the top of the pipe cap.Remove the 3/4 inch OD hose from the IAC and place the pipe cap with the hole inside.Start the car and if the idle isn't fast enough you can always open the hole slightly with an old pocketknife.It doesn't take much to change the idle.Check your idle speed with the A/C on and again when very cold.I found that manual trannys even benefit from smoother shifts.Cost for a copper pipe cap $.29.

does this take or drain any hp, some one asked me if it does and i cant seem to find anything.

 

[voidfinger]

yea thats a good question. Does it have any down side? ??

 

[scarface]

the only downside is your cold start idle wont be very high. There is no loss of power.

Unless you like your car to take twenty minutes to come down from 6k, that alway's anoyed me, and I alway's figured it was the tune or something, even screwed around trying to make it stop. Now I find this info :hammer:

lol i hear ya dude, does the termi do it to?

O and scarface, does that just deal with warming the car up or is there some other reason the car idle faster?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

It doesn't hang as bad as the GT, but it doesn't come down as quickly as I think it should.

it deals with any time the need to raise the idle... wont be to noticeable though

I did this with my car and It help a great deal but its still not quite as fast to drop the RPM as I would like. Can I make the holes smaller yet?

Start small, work to make it bigger to your liking.
