You're right valves totally need adjusting. Haven't quite gotten around to it yet.
In my last post I explained the drop in idle and almost stalling was due to a bad ICV, everything else is fine. I both cleaned and re-lubricated the old ICV to no avail, so I got a used one, and immediately the problem was solved.

Valve adjustment sounds like the gaps are way off or its just a exhaust leak its hard to tell from the video but still sounds like it needs to be adjusted.Leave a comment:

Since we're all really good at not answering what solves our problems on these forums let me say for future reference if you having the trouble I had in the video, get a new ICV. That is all. (as long as you dont have a vacuum leak.)
Told you it wasn't a vacuum leak.Leave a comment:

Mostly because i'm confident that when I changed all of the intake manifold and related gaskets and rings, I did it correctly. Also I checked using carb cleaner on many areas that were suspect, and after a touch of blue rtv on the three metal angles that connect to the intake manifold carb cleaner didnt effect the idle at all. Yet no noticeable improvement.
Any suggestions?Leave a comment:

How can you be sure that there is no intake leak? If you have not done a smoke test then you cannot be sure. 90% of idle issues can be traced to intake leaks.Leave a comment:

Yes another one.... But with video
Its not an intake leak, thats for sure. Maybe bad o2 sensor? Maybe effects of a bad cat? Needs a valve adjustment?
Idle stays firm, almost feels like a misfire, new cap, rotor and plugs. I seem to smell gas too, but I can't tell where its coming from (not from muffer, or around the injectors/fpr)
