In regards to JYT747's link to another thread, the post made by WeST:

"The problem is more then likely your AIV (Air Intake Valve)

You AIV is the box located just in front and slightly to the right of your intake box. You should see a tube that connects your intake box to the AIV.

For Diagnostic purposes I would suggest first removing the pipe that connects the intake to the AIV and then start you car to see if it still has a idle problem. If it has changed in its idling behavior then its more then likely your AIV. If it is proceed to the cleaning process below.

The AIV is easy to do. Just take a real hard look at it and find the 4 screws that hold the 2 halves together. Remove the small vacuum line to the top, the larger one, and take the 4- screws off. Pull the top half off and there is a "cap" over the reeds. GENTLY pry the assembly out of the housing. There are 2-sets of reeds. We only did one at a time so we could see how they went back together. Clean this out with a wire brush and a can of carb cleaner. Reassemble and your Idle should be fixed. "

Now is this hose WeST is talking about different from the AAI valve hose that runs under the intake manifold? Cause I just have a breather on what WeST describes. Here is a pic of my breather. I figured it was just a exhaust recycler into the intake:


Sykikchimp: My problem is exactly what you described. Now as far as your theory on the grounding, I have noticed that when I'm stopping with the brake lights on and the car is starting to drop too low on idle...if I let off the brake lights it starts its climb up to 800 quicker than keeping the lights on. I'm clueless when it comes to electricity. I really want to help solve this issue for us!
