it's really not a noise, it's just a vibration. It's not a harmonic, as I know the difference.
It's definately a low idle I think. Not 100% sure but pretty sure. I idle right at 600 rpm's currently. I thought it was suppose to be 650, but not sure.
I get perfect A/C temps at idle as well.
I'll try a throttle body cleaning first, but it should be clean.
It idles faintly rough without A/C, but the roughness increases with the addition of A/C.
I'll check all pulleys as well.
Basically, I would like to know what the correct idle should be on a SS LQ9 motor?

Less backpressure, idle could have dropped some.... PCM still hasnt cracked the TB to compensate..... You didnt touch the motor when you put the exhaust on, so kinda wierd if you ask me. Plus this is the first Ive ever read about a problem like this.

It may have just been raised to 650. Just have a tunner raise it until the vibration goes away with and without the A/C on.
