Rough cold idle----> FITV
Rough running temp idle---> IACV

so what do u suggest we do? it's replaceable? i wonder if it's harmful? it only goes haywire when it's cold and i try to move the car, but if i start up nd leave it alone, it's fine.

You can remove the FITV, clean it, and adjust it.The IACV can only be cleaned as far as I know. Use carb cleaner. Check the link I posted for more detailed info with pictures. It's not hard at all.

My older motor did that, cold idle would slowly go between 1200-1500rpm until you move the car and then it would be rock solid at 1000 or so until everything gets up to temp.

If it stops once it's warm than it coud be the FITV, if it does it only after its warm could be the IACV....then if it fluctuates, hunts, roams, surges, etc. 100% of the time it could be a vacuum leak.

Mine is doing that also. It started when i put a b20 thottle body on my d-turbo. Only when it cold though. I just though it was the weather.
