    What is with my RPM's ????????????????

    Aight this is weird....

    My car would use to idle down near 400 RPM's and sound like it would DIE (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)...so i tightened the throtle cable coming from the PGM-Fi and now somtimes it will idle at 2000 and sometimes 1100 and sometimes it will also drop to 400 again....any solutions??? i can only think that the cable is sticky or something...

    Your cable is too tight. To ajust your idle use the screw on the side near the red hose also disconect your 2p connector it should be a white electrical connector on the throttle body. <---Put this back on when you are done then shut your car down and restart.

    BTW the screw is on the throttlebody

    never ever adjust the throttle cable itself. learn from the dude who had a shit load just doing it. the locknut on the throttle cable wont make it loosen if tightened properly. check the fast idle valve. the efi should not do this, only the stock carb is a bitch. like mike said, check the pcv and any hoses, vaccumm lines.
