Hello, I replaced my idle stabilizer unit (electronic box behind the tail-light) and all of a sudden I have the following symptoms. Cold idle - slightly increased to 1000 RPM - but hunts by about 200 rpm Warm idle - 2,000 to 2,200 RPM - hunts by 200-400 RPM With the old unit the idle was consistent at about 900 rpm - however the idle would not increase (as it is supposed to) when the A/C was turned on or the steering was at full lock. Does anyone have any thoughts on what to check next? I had previously replaced the O2 sensor and Temp II sensor. Also, how does everyone secure the large rubber elbow between the throttle body and the AFM. I'm suspicious that mine is not sealing well. I tried screw clamps, but that seems to just squeeze the elbow off the afm.
