rab get the car up to running temp and disconnect the ISCV.

Use the idle screw on the throttlle (under the inlet pipe from cooler) to up the idle to 1k and then tighten lock nut.

plug ISCV back in and your laughing!

Do this with fans and lights off

As rapidcossie says, the iscv MUST be disconnected when you do this, I set them at 850rpm.
