    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So my symptoms were classic... runs good at start, then once it warms up, idle goes nuts... 2500-3000 or more. Had to leave it in gear with clutch half out at stoplights for fear of roasting the motor. Used the search function and read countless posts on the topic, which mostly all alluded to a leaky intake system. Thanks to some of the wily veterans on the forum..namely Cliff, Bwinger, Nessism.. for their brimming over confidence in the diagnosis of these kinds of common problems.

Long story short, I bought O-rings and boots and weatherstripping and did up the whole kit-and-kaboodle... and sure as hell... when I put everything back together and went for a rip, the idle stayed at a nice 1000 every time I stopped for a light. This is a massive victory in my books. Thanks to every single soul who has contributed to this forum. I'm sure I saved myself 500$ that I would have spent taking this to a garage. Not to mention the sublime satisfaction I received doing it myself. GSR is awesome.:pray:
 
Nice to hear a successful end to a problem, but I do believe that it was probably the intake boot o-rings, rather than the airbox sealing that kept your idle speed down. :o

You may be right Steve, but for the 6$ spent on the weatherstripping, I was taking no chances since I had it all torn down anyways.
