I've come to realize the fiav on my 2g is going bad, as the idle takes an exceptionally long time to drop, then proceeds to drive like crap until the idle settles. I was going to block the fiav but I came across a 1g tb for a great deal. I plan on replacing the shaft seals, but obviously I won't know if the fiav works until I hook it up.
Since the 1g tb is older, I think its safe to assume the fiav is on a limited lifespan, so I am considering just blocking it (free mod) from the get go.
I live in PA. I park outside and this is my DD. How much will this affect my cold start up? I don't mind feathering the throttle a few times, but I'm not trying to sit in a freezing car for five minutes with my foot on the pedal.
Is there any way to just fix the fiav? What if I just screw the plug in a few times, and not bottom out? Just looking for input. What would you do?
