Default running great but.....

i just got my car back from the transmission place today!E-manage is installed correctly, the car is running great!no sputtering or nothing!but i do have a really low idle(around 200-300 rpms).I know that my Cat is clogged and needs replacing,i also need to get 2 new 02 sensors, and bkr7e spark plugs are gapped at .04 and ive been told they need to be at .03!!could any of these be causing the low idle???even tho it is a low idle,it runs fine!can anybody help!

Definatly get the cat taken care of, thats giong to be causing lots of restriction on your car. As far as the low idle, could abe a combination of things but if u think your o2 sensors are bad then thats a good place to start. I believe that your e-manage has an idle control in there, but i'm not to familure with that unit.

I don't think your spark plug gap is set correctly but that won't effect your low idle.

deffinitly fix all 3 of those issue's you mentioned. they will help out alot. i'd put my money on the o2 sensors at fault for the idle just going off what your telling us.
