i have a 95 talon tsi with a 6-bolt motor swap. i am having idle problems. first it does not want to start. then starts and stalls. again. then stays running but eratic idle. havent adjusted any sensors or settings. everything else is stock. could it be tb? fpr? i know a little bit about trouble shooting and correcting, but consider me a moron. i'll understand most anything and if i dont, i will ask. if you need more info, let me know.

thanx...

i recentley did the throttle body swap and i had to adjust the Throttle Position sensor. when i started my 2g up, it idled at like 2k-2.5k I adjusted the throttle cable, just to get the idle down. it purred like a kitten, but when i tried to drive it, the car kept fallin on it's face and i didn't get 20 feet down the road. Had to pull it back in the driveway and tune the tps some more. got it down now. runs great. only problem i'm having now is that when i start it after it sitting for more than a 8-10 hours, it will idle hight at abou 1.5k until i drive it at least a mile, then the idle rpm will then settle to the norm 800 i have it set at. strange. good luck with the tuning.:dsm:
