Rep Power: 813 Do the idle learn. Auto should be right around 700rpms in neutral and 650rpms in D. There is a +/-50 variance per the manual, but those values should be close to what I posted. If you have the 03+ cluster like i do, there is no way to tell without some sort of digital readout.

could you clarify this
you always relearn the idle when swapping the throttle body. after unplugging the battery, you have to let it idle for 10 mins once the car is warmed up. its easier to drive the car first upto temp, then pull the battery for 10 secs, then start the car and let it idle 10 mins. you can't use accessories or press the gas during this time.
then turn the car on w/o anything.

Rep Power: 813 there's nothing to clarify. just do what it says. drive car to warm up, pull battery or fuse, put back, start car, let run 10 mins without any accessories or gas, turn off, turn on and drive.

Rep Power: 398 You know whats weird, sometimes when I start my car and it turns on, it liek feels like it's gonna die, it shutters REAL bad and the whole car shakes, then it comes to life. Really weird lol. Only happens every once in a while though, only on cold starts.
