Re: hanging idle . .what gives
Well, I have a VEC 1 and had some idle problems once. I forget what brought it on, but I had to disconnect the battery at the battery. Reconnect. Start the car, let it run for about 20 seconds. Restart, let it run for about 20 seconds, do that about 3-4 times. By the 5th start the idle was good and has been good every since.
Oh, I remember!!!! I had my VEC 1 control unit under my seat. I have a feeling that when I was in Tenn., and the rains came, I think the control box got wet and screwed up the settings. Just a theory, but the only one I could figure out. I guess once it dried out, it was able to accept re-programming.
Since then I installed the VEC control box under the dash near my right leg. It's out of the way, safe, and easy to control and I didn't have to cut into anything to drill any holes to install. I was able to use an existing dash screw hole to mount.
Can't hurt.
Good luck.
Andrew
