dunno, its all trial & error. I used 2 layers of gasket paper glued together for more strength, and cut out the bolt holes |

It wont react to the aircon or demister like it does now. if its cold, it'll probably stall. But, after I've driven 500m, I can switch the AC on and it wont stall. I think my idle when warm is about 700, so it could be higher.
Is yours auto or manual? |

Mine is a manual, with manual ecu now.

Yeh, should be pretty easy then. also I set my idle when it was cold, just above where it would stall. I think it was about 500ish, which then jumps to 700ish warm.

i had mine at 850rpm when warm, which was just enough when cold that it wouldnt drop revs too quickly and thump between gear changes
Any higher, and i found it would hover to 1000rpms for a few seconds when pulling up at the lights. Theres a fine line in setting the base idle how you want it. |

thanks for all the replies guys. I will try dissconecting the ISC when its warmed up and see if it does anything.. Would an ECU reset do anything also? I am also gonna tripple check for vaccum hose leaks and tighten up the inlet manifold bolts. Could it be the throttle cable maybe?

there is a trick with capacitors within the ECU that die.
thread on here somewhere about how to fix it all

Well i disconected the idle motor thing on the BBM and the car revs up perfectly! Is it ok to keep it disconnected? What will happen if i do?

Nothing really, just be a pig while its cold if you didnt up the idle to around 800 when warm.
I just checked mine, and its 750 when warm, I should probably turn it up a touch to around 850 like fordfairmont, especially after the cam goes in, or I suspect it'll just stall like a mofo. |

i did this late last night. I left it plugged in, but made a spacer block off plate, so its still bolted there, but blocked off.
And i'm glad to say that it works awesome, my revs drop straight away now, all the time, it never stalls like this, its great! I reccomend it to people that don't even have this problem! I idle at 750 when warm, and about 650 at 5 am this morning. love it Andrew.

Yep, sounds about right.
Just be careful when flicking the AC or front windscreen vents on at idle should be okay when warm, but when cold I'm pretty sure it'll stall. |
