well, never tried it under load, since I put my finger over it to plug it...what should I cap it with?

jus a vaccum line witha bolt or sumthin in it.... unless u got sumthin better

If I cap it and it runs like ass, will it harm the engine if I run it like that to see if it will "relearn" the idle? Should I just d/c the battery, brake, then reconnect and start to force it to relearn?

depends on your ecu setup... if its tuned no... b/c it will rid it of its settings... if its stock why not :D Use a autozone or similar vacuum cap... a hose w/ a bolt looks tacky on the UIM IMO.

I have a PFC, so I don't think d/c'ing the battery gets rid of the maps, etc. Anyway I could rewrite the map. I'll check autozone today for a cap that will fit. Thanks for the advice.

What is you boost gauge reading? It will reset the PFC... I know this :bash:

ya it will reset the PFC in the sense that it will "relearn" the idle etc., but it would not erase the inj maps, or timing or split, etc. Regardless, I could write it all back with the datalogit anyway. I went to Autozone and bought assorted vacuum caps by Spectre $5 and change. Replaced with engine off, cranked fine and idles fine. Not much difference in vac at idle. Jumped maybe - point. 18-19 at 1000-1100 rpm, 12-14 at 750-800rpm. Mild streetport. Thanks again for the advice.

update-SNAKE OIL! I can't explain this, but the car runs several degrees celsius cooler with the port capped! I also can now run with feedback control enabled without the car dying everytime I come to a stop. I was blowing the cap off under boost every time, so I had to tie wrap it. It still seems pretty loose, but stayed on for three 1.0 kg/cm2 runs. It doesn't look as nice as the simple blue cap. Anything safe I can add to make it stick? Sorry to jack your thread, Nader. I also need to know about running 02 feedback without an airpump...look here

Thanks!
