1.Clear the EEC-IV's idle memory by disconnecting the battery for 20+ minutes.
2.Disconnect the Idle air bypass solonoid
3.Reconnect battery
4.Start engine and set idle speed to desired RPM with stop screw on throttle body (900 rpm works great with E303 or larger cam)
5.Turn off engine and reconnect the air bypass solenoid
*Optional -- set TPS .98 volts (Do not exceed 1.0 volts MAKE SURE!) Use a digital volt meter!
6.Start engine and let it idle for 2 minutes with no accessories on.
7.Turn off engine for two minutes
8.Start engine again and run for 2 minutes with every accessory turned on.
9.Turn engine off again.
Your computer should have now re-learned the new idle settings. This procedure assumes that you have a clean IAB valve. If it is carboned up then you may need to remove it and clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Try this, you may need to do it a couple times.

Its kind of crappy looking, cause you see the holes on the bottom of the mass air housing that is suppose to anchor the the factory bracket, but it worked for me. When I did have my car smogged I had to turn it back to "normal" to avoid more questions from the smog tech. It was pretty embarrassing coming to a stop on the way home having it surge like that.
