Default V4 STI idle issue

Morning everyone

I having some problems with idle at the moment, when its cold idles fine, once the car is warm the idle starts boucing between 600-800.

I have changed the idle control that came from a car that had no issue with idle at all, checked all the vaccum pipes,etc. Im running out of ideas to what i should be inspecting next, any help would be appreciated.

Car is running maf less, with ESL mapped by Duncan @ RaceDynamix 366hp.

Cheers

First port of call would be MAF, but there isn't one.

I'd have it back to Duncan.

Thanks for the input Alcazar

Try adjust the idle control valve slightly.

I had the same issue with an Autronic , between that and a slight fueling change at idle sorted the problem
