Default warm up low idle

when i start that car it idles high, 1k-1.5k, but if i get it gear and drive it for 30 seconds an then sit at a redlight with my foot on the clutch or in neutral the idle sits at less then 100.. i just added fuel injector cleaner when i filled the tank a couple days ago but can it be something else?? thx

you want style? you cant go wrong with an nsx.

if anyone says the sti looks better, they are on crack.

grab a pic of an nsx and an sti, show a 10 year old kid. kid picks nsx. end o story.
i had put on an exhaust an test pipe but the problem didnt start till at least two weeks later and im using ngk plats not iridium.. i jus replaced my header and downpipe tonight and it made the idle return to normal at start up but its still there after driving.. would the fuel filter be a good place to start?

uhh if it was idling at 100 the car would not even run idle... u talking bout the white line above 0 and below 1000? thats 500 mark. maybe you could try adjusting the idle with the little screw on the TB...
