Can anyone look to see when cold and you first start the kJ, what is the rpm reading?
Mine seems to be about 1000 in Neutral and takes a few minutes to get down to around 650rpm. Is this Normal?

Totally normal... mine revs up a bit past 1k right after firing then it drops down to about 900-1k and then as it warms up drops to about 600.

Well. Yesterday I cleaned the real IAC :p It was black of a thick layer of carbon :eek: Cleaned the hole in the throttle body also... And then: test drive! :)

First 10 minutes were awesome... I was back into the former dead 600rpm... The engine was incredible quiet and smooth... :D

Then... It went to 650rpm and the rough idle and sudden accelerations were totally back... :(

So... I'll try to clean it again this weekend... If there is no "long term" improvement (ie. greater than 10 minutes) I'll have to spend near USD200 :mad:

Well... c'est la vie :D

Where are you located? Wonder if one of the online vendors over here would ship to you. Thats a cheap part in the US.

I've hired a courier service that has an address in Miami, FL... I simply gave their address and they ships to me at Santiago de Chile.

I've found this site... Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks a lot! :)

Not a bad company to deal with I have bought items from them in the past.
I am sure someone can always find it cheaper but they are a good fare company to buy from.
We have more options in the us and alot of us know this company.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Good place to buy it, and not a bad price, averages around $50-60 from some other sources but you might not be able to order from them..
