faulty coil? broken sparkplug, faulty lead?
It hasn't come back. coils are new (4 months old, plasma ones), so are plugs (iridium).

I don't have a feeler gauge. And I don't even know what the gap is supposed to be.Originally Posted by JoeZ

samer here, idling problems!
My idle is somewhat decent now (had some vacuum leaks after re-installing the dasc), but after about 800 miles stuff started going wrong.
I received CEL (Idle Speed Actuator - Open, and another Closed)
In neutral I can idle at 800rpms, touch throttle and revs jump to 2200...there is no middle ground
If I press the clutch at 1500 rpms or higher and let revs fall, it is as if computer doesn't know where to stop them. Sometimes I stall, sometimes it sputters and then jumps to it's regular 700-800rpm idle
Help

I don't know the 4 cylinder too much but ar you sur the intake pipe to the idle actuator is not leaking or not properly set up? I didn't pushed mine all the way in once and it didn't work properly

nope, but i've replaced all clamps/hoses as well asOriginally Posted by byl
pressure regulator valve
idle control valve
throttle valve switch
Thing that really bugs me is how i kiss the throttle and it jumps to 2200, no way to control anything in between.
