Do you get any vibration as a result of having such a low idle? That would bug the $hit out of me if it did lol..

Kinda strange that your car would be finiky with the idle thought, maybe you need to clean the IACV...

I know that was a common problem with the older VQ30's and it always solved funky idle issues to clean the valve out with some TB cleaner...

i hate people that work at car parts stores that treat you like a retard when you need their help. i just went to get the brake lines for my hydro made and the guys were the most unhelpful people i've ever met.

i also hate people that judge me for driving a "rice burner". some guy jumped out of his car and was yelling at me for "stopping suddenly" and "not using a blinker" when i was trying to avoid some kids that were riding bikes up the street the wrong way.

good thing jack daniels is here to cheer me up!

I have a compression gauge thing at home, it's really easy to do. The only problem Im not too sure about is how to make sure to keep the throttle wide open while u turn over the motor and check each cylinder for compression. Provided the fact we have throttle by wire I'm not sure if the TB stays open when u hold down the gas and turn it over....

I'll try to look into it tonight/this weekend and get back to you...

I totally agree, ignorance is bliss! Funny thing is most of the people that talk trash drive a peace of $hit that couldne beat a 4th grader on a bicycle off the line lol...either that or they have a projectcar that's never going to get finished that they always talk about haha...

Nm the fact that usually the people that talk the most crap don't know The difference from a spark plug and their own pen0r lol...

i gave up on trying to understand them... they were cool for a couple days with the normal "where's my health bar!?", or "yes, more mana!" jokes... until i realized i was losing points and levels when i wasnt online at all and it wouldnt tell me why... as far as i know you dont get anything at all for being a level 70 Paladin either...
