i did cleaning my TB yesterday...after put everything back, reset the ECU, start the engine then...the idle RPM goes high. i let it learning for almost 15 min and nothing changes.
then i drive around 20 mins, somehow the idle drop to 1.3k.

during starting, the rpm goes up and down around 2k few times and then steady at 2k few min then drop to 1.3k. normal idle is around 1k right?

the engine working fine when i engaged a gear.only problem when idle.
what should i do?

Bro,

Try to drive for another 2 days .......after that the rpm should be below 1 k , that's my experience


Cheers

yea.. i think this is normal, you will get a higher rpm after u clean the TB since it feel 'lighter'. The rpm will back to normal after the sensor and ECU slowly adjust by driving it.

My Satria 1997 1.5 auto using ngv has been having repeated problems with the alternator. Two months ago I had a Japanese imported used alternator fitted. Today the car won't start, even with a new battery.

Is a repaired alternator reliable?

Any views please?
