stripped biss screw

[EpicPopcicle]

my biss screw is completely stripped and i cant get it out i think its causing an idle surge or what i think is an idle surge when i stop my car goes from 1500 to 2000 rapidly then drops and keeps doing it as if im free revving it. so 2 questions: is that an idle surge and could my biss screw be the problem and to drill out the biss to remove it is that a wise decision or is there an alternative to get that sob out

The ISC motor is more likely the candidate. Just take your throttle body off and be careful as you get the screw out a new screw, o-ring and cap can be bought for 15.00 shipped from vendors here (I got mine from STM).

yeah i found the screw just wanted to make sure if im gonna place an order might as well get everything at once and the isc is most likely the problem or is there a back up that i sould get too in case it continues to do this

I would recommend against just throwing parts at an idle hunting issue. I had a good article on it, let me see if I can find it.

or you could find a cap and screw at junkyard. most mitsubishi if not all use the same. and just buy new o ring. i bought biss screw from dealer and they give you a good for nothing plastic screw. went in the trash after soon.

There is nothing wrong with the plastic screw. It isn't meant to be fastening anything it's merely a spacer and in most cases people should not be touching it.

this is what its doing and just doesnt seem like a normal idle surge ### the lights brighten then dim with the idle

 

[SpawnedX]

Could be a bad alternator, look how much those lights dim.

I know the videos are long by many people's standards, but can cover anywhere between an hour and a half to 30 hours of video footage in that time. Just think of me having to import multiple 85 minute tapes in real-time after each shoot, exporting each one at least 3x after the edit to speed it up to 125x (can only do 5x at a time), then exporting something that youtube recognizes, and then uploading each 1.5-2GB file. The Making the Left One Watch video was 2.3TB of footage start-to-finish and took 3 weeks to shoot. When drag racing season is underway, the videos get MUCH much shorter...

I don't charge anything, and 2 years + thousands of hours spent editing 1080i video from tape have earned me a whopping $43, of which I've seen $0. I'd be doing it anyway, so might as well make the videos. I just want you guys to fix your cars so they don't end up in the scrap heap!

Edit: Besides? What are people doing when they're surfing YouTube anyway? They dang sure ain't out workin' on their cars...
