Idle still itteremittent...

[FeaRpb]

Damn just read the thread. I was going to tell you to unplug the battery for awhile. I have had this problem and so has a friend, and that seems to be the fix.

Glad to see you got it working.

Long-term fix or short-term?

Long term, its a ecm reset

Interesting... in my case, I've been trying to solve an intermittent idle problem, and it seems that every time I disconnect the battery for any period of time, when I put everything back together, it seems to run nearly flawlessly. At first I thought I was actually solving the issue, but apparently not, because a day or two later the problem returns. I went ahead and left it disconnected for longer than a day, just reconnected it, and it appears to be running fine again. The problem is as follows:

a.) Sometimes doesn't idle at all without depressing throttle (which I suppose isn't really "idling", is it?)
b.) Sometimes idles back and forth between high and low rpms (Tachometer hasn't worked since I bought the car)
c.) ISC servo is perfectly dandy (I list it as a problem because, well, if it didn't work, then I could just replace it, and there would be no problem)

I guess I just need to go get some propane (or some sort of UV vacuum leak test kit) and check that before I go rambling on and on about my headache.
And also, I suppose I should try to clean the throttle body, as when I stuck my finger just bast the butterfly valve, it returned covered in soot (that can't be healthy). I think I should like to pick up some sort of proper cleaner for it, as the only cleaner I have now is designated as a "electrical component cleaner", and the throttle body isn't exACTly an electrical component.

Oh, also:

c.) No consistent dash-light
i.) Sometimes AntiLock light comes on for some reason
d.) Had a friend with a (rare, DSM-compliant) datalogger at his work (which means I can only use it some evenings at exactly six pm), it connected at one point, but the next time (for whatever reason) it decided it wouldn't connect, so I can't really tell you if I'm running rich or lean, or anything like that. I sure wish I could. That would just be great.

Sin is AEM EMS not a factory ecu!
