    Idle problems

    So a few weeks ago, I was having idling problems. So i cleaned my ICV and it's was fine. I recently put coilovers and my camber kit in. I turned on my car and all of a sudden it was idling at 2000 rpms. I took off the intake boot and cleaned the throtle. It was fine after that and when I took it for a drive it when back to idling at 2000 rmps. I continued to drive, I would release off the gas and the car was like it was on cruise control and didn't decrease in speed and rpms.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Check cruise and accelerator cables they could be adjusted to tight

      The most common cause of this would be intake leaks. Have a shop run a smoke test and fix the leaks it reveals.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        An intake leak or vacuum leak would cause an unstable idle, woudnt it??
