So on cold starts it idles around ~700 but almost dies when given any throttle until it warms up. However, when its warm it runs great but idles at ~1300. No, there arent any vacuum leaks. I have replaced every gasket and smoke tested it. I was really thinking DME coolant temp sensor but resistance figures seem to be correct. Gas mileage is shit too. Im out of ideas.. anyone have any insight?

Any codes?
Stuck ICV?
Does the TPS test good? -
clogged fuel filter?Originally posted by ebelements

Fuel filter is newish. But that wouldn't explain the high idle. Justin, my CeL has just always been on due to my lack of a char coal canister. Can't get the stomp test to work. I tested the tps a while back and all was well. What's wierd is I can get it to idle at 700 if I unplug and plug in the icv real quick while it's running. When I plug it back in it idles perfect at 700 for about ten seconds and then just jumps back up to 1300

A Peake code reader is WELL worth the small investment.
You can test the ICV, beyond making sure the valve isn't stuck (should hear a clicking when you shake it). You can test resistance between terminals.
Terminals 1 & 2: 20 +/- 5 ohms
Terminals 2 & 3: 20 +/- 5 ohms
Terminals 1 & 3: 40 +/- 5 ohmsComment

Just tested the tps and it went from 1.6k closed to 4.47k wide open. I'll check the iac now

check your throttle stop, make sure it isn't holding the throttle slightly open... I've seen this on an E36 before... different motor I know but same symptoms.Comment

Throttle stop is good. I pulled codes and got one for the lack of a char coal canister and one that said "CAN message"

Also, it is to my understanding that with an auto harness I don't need to modify anything. I just chopped off the extra plugs. But..I'm using an auto dme..do I need to have a chip from a manual in there or does it not matter? I have no evap stuff just the vent line with a filter on it. Would I need to put a resistor or ground something out on the purge valve connector?

Nope, I actually just got done verifying all of that myself. Plug the throttle body inlet and vent the tank, that's what I've been running the past 3 years. Leave the purge valve unplugged. I just installed the entire system to see if it would change anything on my car, it did nothing but turn off the CEL, so I removed it all again.
The unmodified auto harness works as well. I installed one on my car a few years ago temporarily, and it made no change to anything. My spare DME is a stock auto DME, it runs perfect with it installed.Comment
