2 main problems- need some advice~
Ok, I cant find my other thread, which only 1/2 worked anyways- Soo lets try this again.
After finishing all my trany work, my idle has droped from a strong 800 down to 0-300rpm.
Its dying at stop signs, or any time I put the clutch in and let the rpm's drop.
I have checked all the vacume lines. What am I forgetting???
The second thing:
After cleaning my engine bay, my alt is only supplying 13v running!!! (Car runs fine other then idle)-
I had the alt covered up, but did mist the pully with simple green. Can I remove it and try cleaning it out, or what???
I have to get this figured out!

After working on this with my father of all people, we have determined its not a low idle, but that its running rough at idle.
Warming up- it will dip down to neary dying, and then right back up to 900.
After a 20min drive, it will not go back up, and just sit there strugling at 100-300rpm and eventualy die.
Bad sensor? Fuel injector? Running to rich/lean?
Im lost.
I did fix the alternator, disassembled it and cleaned it pretty well.

Because theres no Idle set screw for these cars. Its 3 sensors-
And I recognize your name from somewhere.....

Trainwreck is correct, it's at the top of the throttle body, most likely under a black rubber cap.. it's on page 4A-78 of the factory service manual (availible at www.iluvmyrx7.com ).. get the "04a_FUEL_AND_EMISSIONS_CONTROL_SYSTEMS_NA.pdf "or grab the turbo one, and turn to the page, it tells you how to adjust your idle RPM.
