about to attempt guys.
hope this works.
also might be selling car to a guy at work when he sells his truck. i only have room for one car at my apt and i dont think my sister can sell her van and get a loan for my cobalt lol.
shes gonna try too though. if i sell both cars ill get a car from here, if i dont sell any oh well. ill go do this and let u know. the idle screw looked a little stuck so ill mess with fitv first.

ok i just did the fitv and spun it three or 4 turns until it was tight.
kinda runs better but idk if i reset the ecu or not.
heres a few videos...
first is before pulling ecu fuse and after is amazing without the ecu fuse lol.

Second video just looks like you need to adjust your idle down some.

Did you check the vacuum hoses or no?

ill have to try and break idle screw loose.
i did but didnt see any missing.
i hate vaccuum lines.

ok so tightened idle screw to the right a little and a little and a little and had it idling under 1000, but it fluctuates from 500-1100.

tps?

lmao now driver seat belt wont retract. shows that the seat belt light is on. gayy. i think the idle is too low, it tries dying a little when you go from nuetral to first and start off.

drove to autozone and as i went to neutral at a stop sign it bottomed out.
found out that the hoses i used when i hooked up my vac gauge were getting a lot of new vac bc of the cleaning iac and fitv and tb that they were closing shut. so we put the right kind of hoses on it and he adjusted my idle and bam only idles like 600-800 now.
still feels a little sluggish so idk what it is.

did you follow the procedure for adjusting the idle or did you just tighten the screw?

I just tightened it. The guy at autozone did it for me after the hose swap lol. Works good now. Just need a tire and I'm set to drive more

There is a reason to the order in which we told you what to check. You must follow that order and do the procedure properly. Otherwise you're wasting our time and most importantly, yours.

Why you started the car without the Back Up fuse, I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if that caused the issue you're having with your seat belt now.

Go back now to the vacuum lines. Make sure the lines are run properly and in good shape. Yes, this means remove the vacuum gauge. At least until you get the idle fixed. I don't understand why you have that anyway.

Then reset your idle according to the guide I posted. Don't just randomly turn the adjusting screw. This does you no good. And guessing that other random sensors like the TPS are causing the problem is the wrong way to go about this.

Do these items and post the results and I'll get you more info from there if the idle isn't fixed.

yeah i got it fixed after i left autozone. i replaced the vac lines and he fixed the idle for me.
yeah idk what the seatbelt thing is doing. i kinda dont think sometimes but eh... i checked the passive restraint fuses though and they arent blown.
