I'm thinking its the duty cycle cause I took my time installing the blockoff plate and I made sure there was nothing obstructing the holes so I dunno. it doesn't do it very often though so I'll just wait and see if we can fix it when we do the final tune.

When I had my idling issue, it was intermittent just like yours. It would not even be an issue sometimes, but most of the time I had to feather the gas so the RPMs wouldn't fall and stall.

well its been about two tanks of gas (not sure how many miles cause my VSS is dead) since I got the car on the road and everything is still running great.

I have a potential buyer for my bike rack so once that sells I should have enough money for the rest of the parts I need. So hopefully be tuned in the next month or so. My new boss will tune it for free once I come work for him for a little while. He's also going to teach me more about tuning so I can do it myself from now on. :thumbsup:

apparently almighyfargoth is gonna make a video of my car on friday when we do his "big three ground upgrade" so expect that sometime soon.

talking to the guy who dan at mach V motorsports has tune all the honda's that come into his shop. looks like its gonna be $450 for a tune. and if dan trusts him enough to let him come into his shop on weekends and tune all the honda's that come to mach V without him being there then I trust him with my car. guys name is jason hunt and this is what he said would be included for the $450 "That covers dyno ,checking base timming , checking - changing plugs, checking driveability, and after tune support" anyone ever heard of jason hunt?

haven't updated this in a while. getting plugs wires, cap and rotor and a real filter. Installing my turbo coolant lines and fixing my VSS sometime in the next few weeks. meanwhile I'm working on a very long list of things to do for my mom in order for her to give me the $450 I need to get tuned. hopefully be tuned sometime before hyperfest which is june 18th. I'll update when I make some more progress.
