    engine surging

    so. i just changed the wiring harness and now that everything is hooked back up the engine surges.
    well first when i start it it runs at 3k for like 3-5 seconds, then it surges from normal idle (about 8 hundred?) to about 2100-2200..
    any ideas?

    thanks in advance,

    Clean the ICV and have a smoke test run to check for intake leaks.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
