I drove another 500 miles yesterday without any unstable idle issues at all. Maybe the problem was really solved by just removing and cleaning out the ICV?



I did see that i had "fuel trim exceeded" codes again on the Foxwell, but they were just the "shadow" codes which did not illuminate the check engine light on the dash. Like I said before, the last two times I took this trip in the past 6 months, those codes tripped the CEL on the dash multiple times on each trip.



I did get a couple of CELs for evap system leaks, but who cares about those. (I don't have smog in my area.) Other than that, a very smooth road trip where I got about 20-21 mpg in California driving to stay alive among the murderous maniacs which inhabit every single one of the roadways there.
