Not sure if 2G's are the same as 1G's in the way you have to ground a connector behind the battery on the fire wall to be able to set the base idle, you can't just crank in the BISS screw.

edit:
I just found this!

But I need a scan tool for that.

Ive done the throttle body again... 3rd times a charm (and a learning experience)

Its still idling at 1200 rpm, steady though. Ill do ANOTHER boost leak test, but I cant see that much air getting through, def not through the throttle body anymore...

you have to do your base idle and base timing set so that the ECU can control the full range of motion for the ISC.

Also, if your fast idle air valve is stuck partially open its gonna idle high as well.

I didn't touch or pull off my fiav at all, and I didn't idle high before everything came apart. I think I HAVE to do another boost leak test before I look at anything else. I want to do that grounding thing but I've been told contradicting things, that 2g's don't have that wire, or they do and its automated, or I should be doing that... I'm worried if I do something else will fail
