Hey guys, ive had a service done and a fuel clean up thing and when i got it back they de tuned the car so it was hardly drivable (i dunno what they were thinkin) and they thought it was weird that the engine kicked in at 4500rpm, this is a bigport aswell.
They didnt know what a TVIS was or what it did then they re tuned the car so it has constant power, its not too bad cause it has lower rpm power, but the idle was rough and if i drove fast then stopped quickly at the lights the car would stall.
driving normally then stopping tho the idle would keep jumping from 700- 1000, so it sounds like its goin to stall but then jump up, constantly.
so i reckon u guys would know more about the 4age than these guys which i will keep unnammed, lets just say theyre not that ultra on the tunning http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif
PS: it idles smooth in the morning 1500 normally or a bit less
so please HELP
