Air in the Idle Air Control Valve. You might as well take it off and clean it as well. ---

does that have a fast thermo idle valve on your throttle body? that runs on coolant, and affects your idle at start up. if you changed the thermostat there coudl be air in the lines and its messing up how that valve operates. thats just one idea, i’d check the IAC valve also, but it can’t hurt to bleed any air out of the cooling system. on a 2000 gsr i don’t believe there is a bleed valve i think that was only on the obd1 motors. to bleed the air out on an obd2 gsr you just need to run the car with the cap off of the radiator. ---
