I finished the swap and cleared all of the codes and got all of the littled nick-nack stuff finished up. Now when I crank it up, it idles slowly to 3,000 RPMs and stays there. What can I do to stop this or I must of did something wrong?:smoka:

check you vacuum hoses for correct placement

The cold idle valve could be rooted - but it's more likely that the throttle body may be stuffed if the ICV has had it's factory sealed settings tampered with. This was the case with my SiR.
Throw away the throttle body and replace it with one that still has the factory seals on the Idle Control Valve.
It was an instant fix for me :)

Where is the ICV located? Is there a pic that you can show me what it looks like?:bandit:

It's attached to the throttle body opposite the throttle linkage. A black plastic unit with a L shape to it. Basically, it's prolly been tampered with if it's like my case - they "can" be reset, but only at the factory - cheaper to replace the ENTIRE body if you have tried everything else.
