ok for some reason when going about 45+ at high rpms and i put my car in neutral and slow down really fast my car starts to ideal really low and sometimes dies:mad: what could cause this??
 
adjust the base idle set screw (BISS). This controls the idling speed of the car.

Adjusting this screw adjusts the amount of air that goes around the throttle body plate, and therefore adjusts the amount of air the engine sucks in when idling. Adjusting this screw adjusts the idle of the engine up and down


goo:thumb:d luck
 
my car used to do the same thing and found out that i had 2 leaks from my throttle body. so i got a used 1g tb and called it a day.
check for leaks. the BISS tends to leak easily
 
check the BOV hose that connects to the throtlle body as it has a huge effect on idling


good luck

there is no BOV hose that connects to the TB.WTF

there is a recirc hose from the BOV to the intake if thats what you were refering to.
