I have exactly the same problem with my SOHC.

I just did a tranny swap and now it idles like crap. Totally not related to tranny i know, but i swear i didn’t mess with anything else, that’s whack!

I’ve searched all over the net for the entire evening and found lots of idling problems with no straight answers. All i saw was IACV, AIV, TPS, EGR, bad grounds, bad fuel management, … I guess all 240’s have idling problems and it’s never the same solution for everybody…
