IM PISSED!! It seemed like things were turning around for it. It was getting compressor surge so I replaced the bov. It was getting alot of extra air when it started to boost and would get real rich im mean 10.x. So I replaced the seals on the tb. I tightened the intake mani that was leaking a bit, and filled some leaks in the welds of my ic pipes. I put it all back together and now its running even worse. Its idleing high and I cant seem to get it down. The idle is now surging aswell. And I can open the throttle even less befor Is gets so rich Its undriveable.
I dont know what to do anymore. This car has been a pos since the day I got it. I wanna just sell it so I can get a new dd and play with the talon.

So I decided to try to take it fora spin and change a couple things.I started it up to get it warmed up when my connector(laptop-obd port) decided to stop working. So after a couple hoursof messing with it, it decided "ok, i'll do it" and worked. So I hopped back into the car and tryed to start her up and nothing. Just the ignition click and no crank. Checked the battery, and it read 9.8.*Damn*, So I slap on the jumper pack and still nothing. So now I need to check the starter and that other jaz and really just dont care...
I have a few choices. 1) part it out 2) sell it for really cheap 3) keep fucking with it for another year 4) throw a match in the fuel tank

I vote Sell it real cheap.... (checks pockets)... Damn, only $6. FIX IT! It's got too much potential to part out/burn, or give away. It's a dsm, and you have 3 of them now, You kinda signed on for this. (but I know how you feel)

Lol, I mean I still would for the right price, but who wouldnt. Actually the car ran great comming back from your house. I started it up the next day and it was idleing at 15xx. then started looping real bad. I started it up a little while ago and it would only idle at 2k then it went to 25xx. I swapped the iac and it didnt change anything. You think now that everything's set right those boost leak are making it idle like this or perhas the iac, fiav, or somthing else?

did you let it fully warm up? Do you have coolant lines running to the throttle body? The car should idle high when it is cold.
