hi,

i did the throttle hang fix last week and resent the computer. when the car idles with the A/C off, the rpms stay at 750ish. when the A/C is on it goes down to like 500ish.

also, another thing i noticed is that, before the fix, the rpms would go up to like 1500 when i first started the car with a cold engine. now it's not doing that anymore... is this ok?

i went with the smaller of the 2 suggestions for the SVT fix. should i try the bigger hole or just wait for the computer to learn more new positions for the IAC?

Yes.

The 500 RPM should fine.

I had to go with the larger size suggested. The smaller one was making my car stall on cold starts. Between shifts the RPM dropped too fast causing a little strain on the tranny. It would drop then have to climb again to reach the correct RPM.
