pretty sure the ecu controls engine idle. the vacuum lines going to the tb are kinda brittle - especially the thinnest one. mine broke while I wasnt even under the hood. my idle started acting like yours is. some heat shrink fixed it pretty well. get a cel (check engine light)? with a vacuum leak you might not get a light until after you drive the car a bit.

the harness going to the engine had 3 wires rubed and where touching making my iac motor go crazy. i new this how is i took a nut driver and held it over the hole where the air coms in and i made it idle fine by controling the air past the nut driver. so i played around with the wires and it started idling.

Any one have used engine harness for sale. i want to custum ize one for a mega squirt.
