Hi,

So my SR has been having a some idle issues for a while now but I'm just getting around to fixing them. I was hoping you guys could offer some tips.

Here are the issues:
-Idles at 1500-2000 both hot and cold. My throttle stop screw is removed btw, so my throttle plate is completely closed and I have the IACV screw screwed in all the way. I have checked for vacuum leaks and nothing...
-Sometimes the idle will climb from 1500 or so up to around 2000 and then drop suddenly back to 1500 and repeat.
-Backfiring/sputtering when I start it, idles and runs smoothly after that (however at a high idle as said)
-Throttle sticks at a stop (sticks closed) Could be because it closes completely with the stop screw removed and there is some "goop" in the body making it sticky?

I have a haltech platinum 1000 standalone (MAP not MAF btw) and I feel that many of these issues may be resolved just by changing settings there. Anyone here have some experience with getting a smooth start/idle out of a standalone on an SR? It runs great everywhere but idle and is embarrassing how it sputters and shakes upon start-up.

Any ideas?
