Ok so I have been runnin through old threads and searching, gathering info on the oh so common idle surge, FIAV and IPS issues. Yeah my Talon does have the surge while warming up but it never really bothered me at all. Well the other day I was doing some scheduled maintenece and noticed the connector to the IPS was fraying... Well I was letting the car warm up, surging proceeded, I removed the connector and surging stops, car does a normal fast idle, and goes back down to 800ish RPM at operating temp. Now from all I have read I thought removing this connection was supposed to cause issues?? Not create normalcy? Yes i plan on doing a proper repair to it and having the IPS hooked up correctly. So my next step, make sure I have the TB ground strap on right? Do the proper testing procedures for the IPS? I apologize in advance for yet another question like this, but my searching did not yeild everything I wanted to find out. Mainly im just curious about this and trying to fill in some blanks. Honestly my idle surge does not bother me at all. Thanks for your time and im hoping i did not miss an old thread on this that has my anwers
