Didn't touch anything on timing. Have tried leaving the battery unplugged and nothing. Will try the ECU reset procedure under the information section of the site tomorrow. It's as if the ECU is telling the IACV to stay open for whatever reason. All else fails I can directly wire a relay and potentiometer between the IACV and the battery, then I can set the idle speed manually.

Olhm the iac. Tap on it a little see if it drops

I tested the ohms and it was in spec. It opens and closes as it should when connected to a battery. About to do a hard ECU reset and take it from there.

Barring any mechanical change, that should at least reset your idle.

Well, good results I suppose. After doing the ECU reset it dropped to around 1,000. Gave it throttle and it dropped to 775. Radiator fans had kicked on and the idle floated around 850-900 bouncing up and down after the fans turned off. Gave it throttle again and it dropped back down to 775 where it stayed for the next 10 minutes. Turned it off, guess we'll see next time I drive. I noticed when the idle was up I could hear a whistling from the area of the IACV. Which doesn't make sense. I had taken it apart and cleaned it, and used a new gasket. Tests out through ohm rating and connecting it to a battery and opens and closes as it should. So who knows.

Heres a video I made on the idle adjustment screw.

decided im going to buy another celica tomorrow lol

Today I granny shifted instead of double clutching like I should. I'm lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake manifold.

Christ in hell that logic sucks once you know what you're talking about. Back then I was all "not teh maniford!1!!1" *floorboard falls*...fail.

Today I tried double clutching like I should. A granny shifted past me.

16 hours on an 01 Sebring!? Hmm ... 16 hours at a shop rate of $90 and hour plus parts .... that's more than the car's worth!

Today I tried double-clutching like I should then f*ck I don't have a clutch yet.

Lol yea I guess technically.

Hardest part was the valve cover gaskets were solid as a rock and required much work to remove. Then I forgot 1 screw on the rear valve cover, and had to remove the upper manifold again to take care of it.

It was popping up spark wires out of the tube under the manifold causing misfires, and a sulfur smell from fuel not burning correctly.

New spark wires, valve cover gaskets, spark tube gaskets, oil change, air filter, dizzy cap and that 3.0 V6 6G75 is burning wheels again. May be a crappy chrysler, but the engine is a pretty good mitisubishi engine..

All in all, 250 in parts, and one hell of learning exp.

There's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one

I'll give you that one ... the learning experience is worth a lot actually.

Yea the 2.7's I hear have tons of issues.

Lol yea I am aware of how Mitisubishi engines are known for failures, but this one after much research is actually one of the beefier ones. Often used for a TT setup, and can put out quite a bit of power. I believe it is used in the 3000GT VR-4 which you cannot deny is a beastly car.

This engine took a beating for months with 3 out of 6 wires popped out, oil leaking all over the place..just a general haul of issues. Some time invested and it runs like a champ. I try to ignore the speculation, and just get it running right, but you have to give it props for being beat on so long and simple fixes running like new. None of my Toyota engines have repaired so simple =P

I had a 3000GT, I don't like to talk about it.
