bad idle
 
i just finished my swap, and 2day my car decides it wants idle like dick. sometimes it will sit fine around 900 steady... othertimes its at like 1600. when u push my clutch in, itll drop to like 200, or sometimes stall out. its aggrevating as ----. also, my oil light comes at anything from 1k and under.. but my oil level is fine. think maybe i should do an oil pmp? anyone have ideas?

Check out all your vacuum lines and ground wires. Make sure they are tight, clean, and not falling off.

from what i can tell, everything looks good. grounds are pretty solid etc. any chance there might be a hidden vaccuum leak i didnt catch? any one else have some ideas. 2 day it seemed pretty good, dropped a little here and there but the oil light still comes on under 1500. i think im gonna put in a new oil pump?

one of the vacuum lines could be blocked up, or have a split in it that you didn't see. i'd double check those, put in a new oil pump, just in case

im gonna search the ---- outta the vac lines 2night after the gym. i kept the a6 injectors in it, those should be fine right? i might check to see if i damaged any of those in the process?
