    My SVO motor has been idling funny. Not all over the place or surging it's just that when I'm driving and I go to step on the clutch, it should idle down. It doesn't though. It stays at where ever it was when I was driving down the road. It will stay at 2000 for example, but then I'll tap the gas pedal and it will calm down and idle smooth. It does this all the time. Any suggestions???

    My next question. I have a rattle in my exhaust and it sounds close to the turbo. I'm thinking it could be part of the waste gate. Sometimes when I go to start it, it will idle kind of rough and I'll have to shut it off and restart it to get it running smooth. I usually have to do this 2 or 3 times before it idles smooth. Sometimes when I drive it, it feels like the boost doesn't creep up like it should. It kind of just hits me in the face with a burst of boost. Does anyone have suggestions? I think it's the waste gate. That's just me though
    THANKS

    unplug IAC, set idle screw, then set the TPS to a litle under 1v.
