Bouncing idle!!!
When my FC is cold, the idle will bounce from 1300 RPM to 1500 RPM, but will hold at 1100 RPM when warm. I tried adjusting the stinking idle mix screw when she was cold, and it would stop bouncing, but when she warmed up, it would only idle at 200 - 500 RPM! I thought that I had fixed my idle problems, but I guess not. If it is the damn TPS again, can someone give me GOOD pictures of the process?!?!!?? Most of em i've seen SUCK!

Sounds like the thermal wax pellet. Do a search on that, or wait for someone else to explain, because I'm not real sure about it, but my car has the same problem.

the 1300-1500 idle while cold is normal. just wait till if fully warms up before you start to adjust the ilde screw on the BAC to get a 750 idle. if you can get it down to 500 it's not the thermo wax. otherwise you would never get it down.

I did not think there was a screw on the BAC, and what is the shock tower? I am adjusting the screw on top of my throttle body, as I have a 1991 N/A. Explain, and btw, Scott, you are now my hero!
