i have a issue with my golf its a 96 2.0 Golf. i put a stage 1 tech tonics chip into it and ever since that i have been idoling at like 1500 rpms. ive cleaned my throttle body and i dont know what to do know....?

 

I'd write techtonics about it first and see what they say.

 

ive already done that and they all say the same thing.

 

So they tell you it's the throttle body? I'd check for a vacuum leak first. Maybe you knocked one loose while you were working on it. Then try resetting your ecu by disconnecting you battery cables and holding them together for about 2 min. If that doesn't help it is probably your idle control valve which unfortunately I heard is around $300. I don't know why it would go out the same time as the install.

 

ya for real. hey could you give me a lil more info on the reseting my ecu. i think that might be the ishue. concidering im running a chip. whats the info on that?

 

Just disconnect the battery cables and hold them together for 2 minutes. That drains the residual power from the ecu. Then reconnect the cables and start the car. Let it idle for about 5 min then take it on a 10 min drive in order for it to learn all it's settings. It will drive pretty badly for a few minutes but once everything is learned it will drive normal again.

 

alright well i will try that and let you know how it works]
