well i feel like an idiot...
so, since i still haven't fixed my car's idle problem... ive been reading other posts on here of people with similar problems... so i bought a new Engine Coolant Temp Sensor, going to install tomorrow... so that i havnt actually got around to seeing if that would fix it.. but i did come across some one saying that they had about the same problem as me cause of a bad maf... so i went outside to go check my if my maf was bad before i spent 160$ on something i dont need... and you will never guess what i found....... it made me feel so stupid you wouldnt even believe...
IT WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE AIRBOX!!
when i saw that i was like WOW i hate my self... i connected it back up tight and gave it a tug to make sure... and what do u know... my car is idling normal DDD im still going to put the new sensor in, just to be safe...
for those who haven't read it yet... or just keep skipping over it every time i update it...

yea i was messing around in there, but i could swear i double checked that when i was done....the snorkle and cover over the airbox kinda hid it... and i had opened my hood numerous ammounts of times.... that must explain that really loud vacuum sound when i stepped on it. LOL

i retract my previous statement of you not taking care of your car properly. instead, i will replace it with you not looking under the hood to see whats wrong. my bad!!! oops, your bad for not looking under the hood! (just playin, im no that mean!)

yea, idk why you were going on with your rant in my other topic... it had nothing to do with anything. and yea i do take care of my car. when i was messing with my airbox it was 1 am, and i was using a keychain flashlight. and i dont mean to be mean to you but i probly know more about my car than you do.
and resize your sig.... lol
edit: here i did it for u.. u can save it and put it to your photobucket or whatever you use

Did you still replace the ECT sensor? If the ECTs is going bad then you should notice issues with your ECT gauge. When my ECTs was going bad, the gauge would be at C after 20mins of driving. Then it would suddenly jump to the middle. I knew it wasnt the thermostat becasue I had recently replaced that. If you dont have any issues, you could hold off on replacing it.
