Flucuating idle
Ok i just got done removing my rats nest and installing my FMIC and my idle sucks. it is high when i start it(2,500) and as it warms up it jumps from 1,300-1,600(sounds like i have a big cam lol). ive replaced the UIM gasket, not it. i also noticed i can unplug the BAC valve and my idle does not change at all, what does this mean? i cant hear any vacum leaks, im pretty sure i capped all the lines i needed too off. any help would be great...all i want is a steady idle!!!!!

check vacuum with a guage first or your starting blind. If you have no vacuum leaks, than adjust tps and idle settings from there. It sounds like a tps though

however, if it is surging kind of like cycling between 2 rpm's then either its the TPS, the BAC or the ecu is fried which in my case, what a pita, but at least it fixed oh so many problems!

Check to make sure all your hoseclamps on your couplers are tight. Search for how to check the TPS it takes all of 2 minutes. FYI I had to reset my TPS and idle after my greddy fmic install. Are you sure your bov isnt leaking?
