Stu-E Autech Engine

all in good time Soooo after speaking to Joe she runs fine apart from idle sits at 1000 then drops to 750-800 and stalls occasionally....
I'm thinking toward the IACV or AAC, or maybe an air leak somewhere, any other ideas you guys can bring will be wicked
Cheers
Try adjusting the idle had the same problem on the micra... combination with the idle and intakes vac pipe not fitted properly

brapp brapp!
The rumours are true motherfuckazzz!
But you've alllll got the wrong idea about the idle, its not Idling low... when its on 'Autech' Idle its perfect... as it should be, but sometimes it sits smoothly at 1000-1100 on a fast idle, and doesn't settle. I'm sure pairing the loom wires correctly will solve this (as some of the sensor and IACV wires may be incorrectly paired).
I had work in the afternoon, but got the car basically back in one piece before work, leaving only fluids and other minor stuff to finish after I finished at 4.
Now, when I first started the car, it was still on the axle stands, with one driveshaft, no rad etc - so I didn't film that unfortunately, but once everything was ready to run properly I did snap a video for you guys:

And another of it running on my drive:

And a few snaps of the car, certainly looks something out of the ordinary!!
I'm just glad the swap went as well as it did, and that it runs.
EVERYTHING works - all the gauges, fans etc. Which I'm suprised / happy about!
I test drove the car breifly, and am happy to report it drives awesomely.
You're in for a treat when you drive this Stu!
