Idle problems - FIXED!!!!

Well I got my idle back to normal, finally.

It was pieces of freakin acorn holding the secondary throttle plates open a tiny bit. While inspecting the TB and trying to figure out how everything works, I noticed the part of the secondary throttle plates that sits on the TB when they're fully closed. Only they weren't fully closed because they weren't hitting the TB, but broken bits of acorn from our furry little friends.

Watch out chipmunks, I'm back on the road.

My advice to people with idle problems: check for freakin acorns holding open the throttle. Sure did learn a lot about the emissions system though, gotta admit that.

Thanks to everyone who gave their advice!

I hope you know it has no pistons lol! The throttle body would be attatched to the upper intake manifold.

Remove the intercooler, and it's right underneath. The intake piping closest to the driver's side/windshield on the intercooler is what attaches to the throttle body.
