Good indication that you have a vacuum leak if ur cars idling that high. Turning more belts and having more electronics causes the car to use more power.

my vacuum holds at 20mm hg(i think those are the units on my gauge) when at idle(in or out of gear) and runs at 650-660rpm

im very certain that i dont have a vacuum/boost leak anywhere in the sytem

oobe,

what settings do you have to make ur idle rpm so low? i have an auto as well and my low throttle curve is -10% all through the rpm range

I don't know, man, I can't remember, all I know is that the engine was idling so low I couldn't hear it and it was a cunt hair away from dying....plus I think I installed the S-AFC incorrectly. It works fine and changing the graphs had an effect on the engine, but I think I missed something. I had a hard time translating the pinouts and the diagrams from the manual because there was no 7A-FE, only 4A-FE but it looked exactly like the 7A-FE. I used the t-5b diagram. Which one did you use? I checked Speedtoe's instructions and I don't recall installing it like he's saying, But his instructions are for manual trany...but it shouldn't be any different, right? Anyway, let me know which diagram you used, because you guys have ran better than me...I didn't even enjoy boosting because in less than 4 seconds, the EGT skyrocketed to 1,300-1,400 degrees.
