Repaired the hole in the IC, but the car still behaves badly. Ordered a new chip (thx bill). Hopefully the newer soft will help. In the mean time, is there anything else I can check? There's no vacuum leaks (had one tiny leak that I fixed - made no difference either). The problem got worse after I cleaned the throttle body and air filter ... could there be a problem with the IAC valve or something? TPS is adjusted and OK.

The * is there at idle and goes away as soon as I touch the pedal. It comes back after blipping the throttle, so TPS should be ok. I checked all lines and found no vacuum leaks. Cleaned both grounds on the RH side of the engine. Didn't do the one near the dipstick as it was a tad too hot there Will do so next week (leaving for a Disney weekend in the morning). It never goes in row 2 when this is happening. Blip the throttle and 2 out of 3 times, it goes to 2K rpm and just hangs in zone 115. When I blip the throttle and it does come down, it drops to 1500 rpm, goes back up to 2K, hangs there for a second or 2 and then falls back to 1500 and than slowly to normal idle. Other thing I noticed is that just touching the accelerator makes it go up to 2K all by itself. Sometimes it comes back down, sometimes it doesn't ... Fuel zones at idle are set according to the manual and have worked fine since I bought the ECU, about 6-7 years ago or so, Bill? BTW Bill, are there still chips available for this ECU?
