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.
Johnny
