I bought it at Autozone, and I was thinking about that also. Maybe I should have went to the Toyota dealer, but I was trying to save money. Today I went for a fairly long drive, with the unit un-hooked, and it drove smoothely, but on the way back I decided to connect it, figuring a long drive at decent speeds might have "knocked its memory back", kinda like what Mr.Nickleye was alluding to, but it went back to running all jerky and lopy. When I got in the driveway I started really revving the engine, red lining it. That got it to drop a little, it went from about 2,200 rpms down to about 1800 rpms, but that is still way off. How do you adjust the idle with an EFI engine anyway? Is there something mechanical you can do, or does it have to be hooked into a diagnostic machine? I have no experience with them.

Thanks for your help guys,
