thats when you block off the hole inside the throttle body, as mentioned above. if the valve is fully shut [once warm], when you cover this hole up with your finger it shouldn't effect the revs at all. im pretty sure thats the right way around...
ive actually got rid of my idle up valve all together, just got an alloy plate screwed in to block all the holes up. alot less water lines goin all over the place that way too! only problem is it idles a little bit low when dead cold sometimes, but nothing major.
and as for the surging at a steady speed - you meaning you can't "ease on" the gas, or hold it to keep your speed steady? that would probably be a dodgy TPS. i spent ages trying to set mine exactly right, and rechecked all the specs again and again and they were sweet but it kept surging. swapped it with another one, set it up once and it has been going mint ever since.
repowered - if you're coming to taupo on nov 18th come see me; ill show you how mines set up. mind give you some ideas for yours.
hey yea i'll be in taupo, yea id been keen to check yours out . It was surging like couldnt ease on the gas and also was hard to keep steady speed.
BUT.......
all seems to be fixed now. was just the way i had blocked off a vacum hose. needed to block them off indivudualy instead of looping them around. drives like a diffrent car now
need to find a better way of blocking them off rather than a bolt, might get em' welded like jebus's
when i put my finger over that hole the engine probably would have stalled if i hadnt taken it off, not 100% if it was fully warm though
but loves the drizzly cold days
