i meant the RPM hold-thing, never heard of it.

funny, now that i know what it is, i have seen it do odd things occasionally, like immediately after an oil change, it will rev high for about 10-15 seconds, then calm down to about 1000, then if you tap the gas a little, it drops to about 900.

so, i don't understand, if a few of you have had success with getting more power out of your Sportage by either disconnecting the IAC plug or by gutting the unit itself, why am i getting nothing but a little rough idle at start-up? i supposedly have OBD-1, just like you, here, and whoever else has done this, but i get no noticable increases and no smoother idling than i had before, so what gives?
