Huw,

If you remember, on my earlier emails I stated that upon initial start up you *cannot* touch the throttle pedal for the first minute or so or the engine will lean and die. Just about the same amount of time for the o2 to start warming up and responding to the ECU. I have already confirmed the idle switch failure is my problem as I have jumpered the idle switch upon initial start up with great success. The only thing preventing me from fixing it 100% is a rounded throttle body bolt that will need to be cut off.
