problem with UICP and 1gbov

Okay so i just installed the dejontool UIPC and the 1g BOV....i had a problem...the service engine light went on so i decided to unplug the battery to reset it maybe....the light went off and then i noticed that the RPMS were a little weird....at idle they used to be at 1,000 RPM (before i installed everything)... now they are at 500 RPM....my question is: Is that normal? has anyone had this problem? what are your rpms during idle?

Was your idle fine after you installed it, but before you reset it?

500 is a little low.. but my guess is that since you just reset it.. it might take a while for the ecu to smooth the idle out. Happens to me when i reset my ecu.

yea i think it was fine before i reset it........but ill keep you guys updated...thanks for the helpful help!!

It could take a while for it to smooth out. When I reset mine the idle is high.. and when I am slowing down the rpms stick at like 1700 and then when i come to a complete stop it will go back down to the normal idle.

look closely at the idle , you are probably at about 700 or so rpm, which is about normal. the reading lines are bunched up tighter that the rest of the gauge below 1000 rpm. [which i woul dthink of as a high RPM]

If you have your AC on your idle will be lower. Something to just check on to make sure you're not getting a weird reading.

The 1g BOV isnt vented is it? Have to ask... ;)

Make sure the MAS is plugged back in. People often forget that, and it will give you a CEL. Cant think of anything else you might have had o mess with for a UICP job that would give a CEL.

if the MAS isnt plugged in, the car wont run it will start then kill. Give the ECU a day or 2 and it should be fine. mine did something similair after i reset my ECU when i installed a UICP and a 1g BOV.

if the MAS isnt plugged in, the car wont run it will start then kill.
I'd be willing to place a wager on that. ;)

when i forgot to plug my MAS in, it ran incredibly SLOW.

someone else before had this sort of idle rpm problem too, i think in that case it was one of the screws on the throttlebody was too lose/tight. might wanna check that out too.

i was going to mention the MAS, but thought better of it for the sake of MHS... lol

and my RPM increases when i turn on my AC, idle is like at 900 or so

The car will run with the MAS unplugged. I got a few miles from home more than once before the CEL reminded me to plug it in. Ran a little rough, but then again, my car always runs rough. :)

thanks guys! but still the rpms are the same....when i start it up after a few hours of driving like 8-12 hours....the rpms are like at 1,000 or 900...but once i start driving it, the rpms go down to 500 when i come to a stop and idle i.e. at a stop light... For sure i checked the MAS and it is connected. I did however tighten the stock tube that connects to the elbow adn throttle body pretty good. I also had to push the stock tube up a little on the elbow to fit the ucip in my engine bay....could that be a reason? Do you think perhaps i fucked up a few wires that connected to the MAS....it all looks fine to me. So i have no clue.

also, by disconnecting the battery, does it also reset the ECU or do i have to manually do that from the ECU? ...because you know for the stock stereo, if you disconnect the battery, it asks you for a code....well mine didnt do that and i was pretty suprised.

You probally did not disconnect it long enough. Mine asks for it when it has been out a while otherwise sometimes it won't ask if it has been out for a hour or so.

well, i went to http://65.54.172.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=e5b6e148ead4393fc2d661c8648dd7fd&lat=1088435732&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fmembers%2eshaw%2eca%2fcos tall%2f1000Q%2f and it says i have to ground the diagnostic plug under the drivers dash which i did, but i have problems grounding a pin to the firewell used for the engine timing.....here it is from the site..You ground a pin in the diagnostic plug and you ground
a pin on the engine firewall that is normally used to set engine timing.
"Then you adjust the setscrew until the idle is stable at 750 RPM." (http://www.dsm.org/archives/1998/07/19980720.txt/31.html) i did the procedure, but i forgot to ground the second part because i dont know where the hell it is....i read somewhere that 2g eclipses dont have the enging timing....so please help....but yea that was my problem so in case any of you have the same problem down the road....hope it can help! thanks guys!
