Ok this is my annoying idle problem. This has been going on since I've done my KA DOHC swap (around 7000km ago). Since the swap I have changed MAF, ECTS, thermostat, 02 sensor, Air filter (hks mushroom), Water pump, fuel filter, and engine got a full rebuild before I swapped it in. Its only a KA24DE with CAI and nothing else done. Now the problem is whenever the rpms are dropping it will stop at 2000RPM and stay there for about 5 seconds. I can even just slightly tapp the gas and it will jump up to 2000rpm and slowly come back down to a normal idle. This also I think has been effecting my fuel eff, and sometimes I can smell the car running rich. I checked my ecu diagnostic and it threw out code 34 (knock sensor) but I haven't changed that yet. If anyone has had this problem or thinks they know hoe to fix it I would really be happy haha.

i have the same problem and i also have a bad knock sensor. only thing that i have done that i saw a difference was when i got a full catback (with no cat.) it didnt do that as much. also i held the rpms to 2k for about 2 minutes then "raced" the engine to about 5k.

it still does that idle shit ocassionaly but not as much

Check for vaccum leaks specially on intake.... buy some intake cleaner and spray it in the smallest hose (close to throttle body) connected to your intake...
your IAC valve is dirty.

search!!!!!!!!!!
