TPS adjustment, should be in the FAQ, also check for vaccume leaks, esp in the intake tube.

Try cleaning out your TB with a degreaser, too. For some reason, that worked for me when my car was doing the same thing.

I just had the ze swap'ed in and my mechanic tried everything and it still idles up and down..... when the engine is at operating temp. He said there is a part that fixes it but its like 5-$600. Does anyone know what that part is called? I forgot to ask?

I fixed my idle up and down yesterday. It seems a combinaton of adjusting the top idle screw to the most closed setting u can and adjusting the throttle FLY's screws. Its driving fine after that. Also reset tps but that didnt seem to do anything.
