Get asked this alot! I even had to start my car once with the bonnet up to prove the point to a mechanic!

My car runs a fairly large cam! All i know is that it is big as! I mean to the point when the car idles it tips side to side!

I have plenty of adjustment still in my idle screw! But i have never had to touch it!

As for the technicals on how mine idles without it im not too sure but i been told that the cam is the cause to it all!

I had it plugged up recently and all it did was not wanna drop the revs, so i unplugged it and yeah all has come good!

As for idle cold was a b**ch, but now i have no drama's since the screw has been adjusted to the right amount!

its all about emissions... If you dump the throttle then shut it again you get a load of smoke... so the ecu opens it up a bit to keep it cleaner
as a matter of fact it probably saves the bores from petrol washing too and gives you a longer life bottom end

ok i changed the ICS ,oxy sensor,map sensor,TPS, checked spark plugs lowered the idle speed it was to high and its slightly better and also its got a really rough idle as well would resetting the ECU help ,i cant really think of anything else on these cars.
