@VSS370z, can you list the work you done recently?

How's brake pedal pressure? Mine was pretty tight while idling, and it would easily affect engine idle from pressing it down. So far it seems to feel a bit better this time around.

I spent more time carefully torquing each bolt close to 8 lbs than I did Saturday because I was too scared to break things. So far no codes because it's not surging by 200 RPM anywhere near as often as before. The engine isn't freaking out as much as before, and it actually idles a bit lower. I guess that's progress as the bolts are further tightened. It's just #1 that doesn't seem to be hitting the torque limit, which is the same side engine stalls if I spray underneath it. I'm getting brake cleaner spray this afternoon. Hopefully all goes well. If it's still hunting, I'm going to guess it's the MAP sensor at this point. I read a failed MAP sensor could cause the same issues.

Funny thing with the idle hunting is that the engine is actually running smooth and not misfiring. Idle isn't rough.
