    The ICV is brand spanking new so I hope it need no cleaning.
    I will try the messurments on the tps. The guy who did the work simply unplugged it and the idle ran high.

    High Idle Been there done that....

    OK so I have a 300K 325is. It has a miller MAF kit and headers. I double checked the values for idle in the ECU and they are correct.
    I have replaced the intake boot, ICV, resealed all of the various pipes around the throttle body, changed all the hoses on the intake the fuel pressure line too. I did a smoke check and smoke came form the tube of death/bitch tube.
    SO today I replaced the orings on the tub o Death and still have a high idle.
    Car idles at 12 pretty steady.
    Any suggestions on where to go from here..............
