Why is my idle so low? round 800rpm
So i get my car back from speedtech, plugs have been cleaned and its finally going. But its only idling at around 600-800rpm, before it was at around 12-1300rpm. warming it up changes nothing. it still boosts very hard (50-180km/h in about 4 secs). Vacuum reads normal, oil pressure normal and battery fine. So whats wrong?
NOTES:
Its recently been run out of gas by a retard mechanic and badly flooded
Starts up fine
possible spark lead failure? or could they have been put on the wrong way round?
Recently been rebuilt (1000ks on the new motor) so apex seals should be mint
accelerator cable never been tampered with
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Ok so today i unplugged the black cylinder thing on the back of the intake plenum (has a white plug) and the idle didnt change. Im thinking that maybe its faulty and the butterflys staying shut. I'll clean it out tomorrow and see if it fixes the problem. Also driving it today, the idle seems steady at 600rpm, and its about to stall. smells VERY rich aswell

Both the primary and secondary butterflies should be closed completely at idle. The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve opening is what sets idle speed, in conjunction with the Air Bypass Screw, which allows air to bypass the IAC. If you disconnect the IAC electrical connector, its internal valve will close completely, and you will have an idle speed set solely by the Air Bypass Screw, unless your butterflies have been opened with the external set screws.

Are you sure you disconnected the IAC valve connecor and not the Accelerated Warmup System (AWS) valve connector?
