Cliffy's pipe cap yielded good results with a short drive. Shifting went well without high rpm's. Still hangs up between 1100-1300 during coasting, but searching other threads it was stated 1000 is normal to keep fluids up. I did not experience any popping in the exhaust though, I was rather disappointed. I did pull the IAC off to check the gasket, and there isnt one. PO made a half headed attempt with a tube of gasket maker, and its all but gone. I will fix this tomorrow, after I see how the drive to work is tonight.
