Ok guys i sprayed off the iat and it idles better now, it doesnt kinda hesitate and bog down like it used to, but it still wont go into closed loop. I also noticed that even at 195 and up my coolant switch would remain off. The coolant switch is the thermostat right? Would this prevent it from going into closed loop? I have a 180 sitting in my shed, i could just go out there and install it right away.

Ok ive heard that having low coolant can mess with your coolant switch, so i filled it up the coolant. I do have a small coolant leak on a line that i think goes to the oil cooler ( the condenser in front of the radiator?) I then started it up and scaned it to see if it would switch on and it didnt. Doc, the qdm A fault i already know about and it isnt the problem im refering to, i have a qdm b fault which will only go bad when i put it in reverse, when i pass up reverse, it goes good again. My reverse seems to work fine by the way other than that. Any more ideas?

When i first start the car, the iac count is at about 56 and it runs fine for a second, then it goes down into the 40s and even 30s and it starts to run like crap, when i step on the pedal, it goes up again and it runs fine for a second but then bogs down again. IS there anyway i could adjust that valve to maybe open it up and let a little more air in. OR is this just something that i have to live with if i have larger injectors or what?

Jachin, I suspect your injectors are running inefficiently at a very low duty cycle. You still have those monsters in there, don't you? I'd go back to stock.

IM throwing the cam in there whenever i get it and i might do more after that. I might just have to live with this for a while. My biggest problem with that is i think its best to work bugs like this out before modding. BTW i tried seeing if the iac count went up when i turned my headlights on and it didnt, however i did notice a big change in the count whenever i turned the ac on. Who knows what this is, Having bigger injectors might even be throwing my fuel trims off so much it doesnt know to stay in closed or open loop. on the rare occasion that it does go into closed loop im seeing my LTFT jump from 110 to 130 and it doesnt stay there for long. Too many variables i guess, just kinda come with the territory
