What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Meepersly]

Actually I am being a dummy, unless there is a actual leak on the IAC itself, which is highly unlikely, it is still metered air, so it wouldn't be a vacuum leak, but probably would cause a high idle if the valve wasn't closing enough.

Perhaps taking it off and putting some wd-40 in it? Do a vacuum leak test with a cigar?

Some people do a delete of that. I'm not sure how. If you can find one at a junkyard then that would he super cheap. I efi converted my festiva and it costed about $200 that included the IAC.

Got the belt to stop slipping, but basically had to tighten it as much as I could, the bearings are probably going to suffer though.

Also replaced all the pinch clamps with proper clamps to hopefully get rid of my vacuum leak that's being a complete bitch to find. I think it might possibly be the IAC valve, but it's hard to tell. I would just buy a new one and throw it on there, but rockauto doesn't have them, and autozone on ebay wants over $500 for one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Idle-Air-Con...xWH8t-&vxp=mtr

I really like that idea. I am going to see if I can wire my Viper like that.

[David88]

It's wired to the brake pedal. Push it without the key and it dies.

Is it the one with the combo alarm?
If so, you could wire the alarm from the door latch circuit to the Scytek to the horn. It should disable the starter.

Is it the Mobilink 5000 with an app for your cell phone?

[David88]

Nope. Its a Scytek

Installed a new remote start.

I presume it is not wired to the ECU. Most new cars cannot remote start with any error codes in memory.

What make of remote?

I picked up my welded fuel flap popper today and delivered it straight to the paint shop along with the printed spoiler caps. Picture day will be on Wednesday. I am currently working on my center armrest this evening. I have decided not to install the Mini Cooper drink holder on the right hand side of the radio. I will discard the storage bin under the center armrest and weld in a drink holder. I will be thinking about refridgeration.
