with stock cpu not possible...
to control the timing the idle adjustment wont work in that case becase you need to adjust fuel and air to smooth the idle only ways to do that are getting new after market ecu, get your reprogrammed, or to put air pump back...stock ecu is programmed with smog air pump not without it.......
if i am wrong someone tell me?

That is a common problem. Some Fd's experience it, some don't. It's luck of the draw. Mine did it when I had my M2 ECU. I tried putting a resistor across the plug to trick the ECU into thinking it was still there, but that did'nt work. I turned the idle screw till it was about 1100 rpm and that seemed to help. Once I got the PFC all those headaches went away

Squeaking???? If that is so you probably need a new belt. Mine had that problem. It was a little embarassing sitting in my car at a stoplight and having that thing just sit and squeal.

what size belt are you running without the airpump? i currently have a 3-rib 30" i am using temporarily, but id like a 5-rib for more contact.
i cant find a 5-rib 30" anywhere. i found a 4-rib 30.5" and a 5-rib 29", but one was too loose and one was too tight.
please post the part number, or at least the size and where you bought it.
