I've had this issue since I've had this car. The car will not idle at anything above 600-500 rpms reliably. I'm at only 12-13 in hg at idle also. Now when the car is running 'good' it will idle at 900 rpms dead on, with 15-16 in hg, which I would prefer.

Part 2 - If I drive the car for awhile (25+ miles) then let it sit for about 20-40 min and re-start, it will be idling super low 400 max and be extremely rough, but after 30 sec of driving it will be fine again.

I have replaced the BISS O-ring, bov, UICP, and did a taboo vacuum delete.

Any ideas?

 

Update!

After taking everything apart, there is Gray RTV on the sides of the bore.... at 9 and 3... also, the shaft seals were hard as a rock.

Now with the RTV can I use 1500+ grit sand paper and wet sand it off? I don't wanna mess the bore up or anything..

I replaced all the o-rings, and cleaned everything.

Replaced
*BISS O-ring
*Shaft Seals
*Both Throttle Body Gaskets
*Both Coolant Hoses

Also, the idle set screw was not touching at all. I set that as per write up, and had a 3k idle. Re-adjusted the cable itself, got it to 2.5k with BISS all the way in.

I noticed that the throttle plate was not sealing against the body at the top and bottom. Is that normal?

My vacuum went from 11-13 in hg to 15-16 at idle. When down shifting I hit about 20 in gh. My boost still hits 15psi then drops to 10psi, and its about 45* outside... No known boost leaks. Wastegate maybe?

 

I had this before also an a few other dsm owners as well, I was basically told its cause the fuel in the rail is hot an vapor locked, an the best thing to do is just let the car sit for a min an rev it to 2k~ an should clear up

O and we put a n/a 1g fpr on to his 6 bolt an it cleared this up considerably too

 

Ok, so could that be due to taking the factory fuel solenoid out of the loop?

 

Yea cause I had mine disconnected an 2 other people did the same an we all had the same problem with hot starts lol

 

lol, I'll hook it back up tomorrow.
