lumpy idle caused by bac??
i was putting on a cone filter on my car today (yes it is finaly no longer stock) and i decided to check my bac, so i started the car and let it warm up, well it could never realy hold an idle good, it always did that little auto reving thing (thats what i call it), anyway i turned on all my ****, lights, a/c, ect..... well i un plug the bac and of course the engine died, took everything off and started the car agian (bac still unplugged) and walla idle is steady at 1k, so does this mean the bac is dirty, clogged? i would have searched but if u ever searched "idle r bac " u would know y i didn't

my car does teh same auto rev too I hate it let me know if you figure out what it is I already adjusted teh tps to death and nothing and I see no vac leaks on the top of motor. the odd thing is I can chock down the idle with bac but will auto rev if I dont knock the idle down with clutch.

http://www.1300cc.com has a nice writeup about cleaning the BAC. It's not a hard job - I'd recommend that you go ahead and do it. With the exception of the hunting idle, the behavior you've described is pretty much normal.
While you're in there, set your TPS. According to the FSM, the S5 ECU should automatically adjust to whatever values it sees, but the system doesn't work very well. Using a DMM, set the resistance across the narrow range TPS to 1.0 ohm, and check that there are no dropouts or odd fluctuations across its open-close range.
Once you get it settled down, see where it sits. If it's off, check back with us.
