I recently developed a problem in my FD

i beleive it's either the CSA or AWS.. but not sure...


basically i start the car in the morning... RPM kicks up to 2,000ish for about 5 secs then falls back down... (always done that since i bought it)

normally i just bypass the AWS when i start the car anyway.. wasn't a problem..


i have the airpump elimator (greddy pulley kit) and was told to except a surging idle...

that was fine too...


but NOW... i start the car in the morning.. it's like a bloody V8 with a huge cam..

the car will keep stalling.. unless i hold the gas pedal slightly to keep it alive..

BRAP BRAP BRAP, i can feel the whole car shudder everytime the RPM dips...


once it's warm everything is fine... but i hate sitting it the car waiting for it to warm up...


how do i go about diagnosing and/or fixing this problem?

 

I would run the FSM test/adjust on the TPS, clean the IACV, check the ECTS, and adjust the idle. If that yields nothing, hook up a fuel pressure gauge and be sure that's up to snuff.

LMAO!

i found the cure without even opening the hood

I installed a test/mid pipe (cancelling the Cat)
and installed a HKS super Dragger Catback on the car

this morning.. i put the car in 1st gear, she started right up and i didn't have to hold the throttle to keep it alive.. i just strolled right back in the house...
