Installation Tips
  • Perform OEM Recommended idle relearn procedure. Some applications may require the use of an OBD Scan Tool while others may refer to the Owners Manual.
    • A relearn of idle values can be forced by disconnecting the negative battery cable for several minutes in order to clear the electronic control module's memory.
    • Several minutes of idling and highway driving may be necessary to relearn idle values. Electrical loads such as headlights, AC, radio, etc. should be turned off while relearning.
    • Erratic idle or engine surging after installation of replacement unit may be resolved by putting a load on the engine. If idle evens out after shifting into gear, shift back into park and check idle RPM - perform relearn again if a drivability condition is present.
  • Clean intake manifold mounting surface and replace Intake Manifold Gasket, if necessary.
  • Inspect Air Cleaner Intake Hose for cracks and proper sealing - replace or repair with Multi-Purpose Sealant, if necessary.
  • Check harness for broken wires and wiggle connector to try and reproduce the problem. Replace or clean Connector, if necessary.
  • Clear all diagnostic trouble codes from vehicle computer prior to idle relearn.
