Should I back the BISS out a bit?
Did you disconnect the ISC (IAC) when doing this?

Thanks Romeen,

I just re-read my post and realized I wasn't very clear on it. I was having issues with increased idle speed after the motor had warmed up. Turns out my throttle cable was too tight. There is a method for adjusting it to give the most possible slack when the throttle is closed. But I prefer having as little slack or free play in the cable as possible while still allowing the throttle plate to remain closed when warm. So everyday I drove the car I would pay attention to the idle speed when I was stopped at lights and when I got home I would adjust the cable as needed and then the BISS to get the idle where I wanted it. It seems like after an adjustment the idle would move around a bit but settle down and remain steady after a while. Maybe the ECU was adjusting to the new settings (speculation)?

Like I said, I'm sure the recommended way is a better, easier way of doing it. But I didn't have the scan tool and this way did end up working for me.

I'm not sure about the stalling but it might be related to the TPS. When I swapped to a 1G TB I used the RRE method to adjust it and it works great. The logger shows 0% throttle position at idle and 97% at WOT. Just something to consider.

Here is a post that I found helpful:

TPS reading at idle
