    Hi folks i am new here & would like to say Hi as i have heard good things about this site

    anyway i have a 1986 st162 gtr wth a 3rd gen 3sge from a st202 did full build myself ground up repositioned radiator ect
    so on to my issue when i start the car when cold it takes about 7min to settle down to idle as the engine warms up also when car is warm & switched off then started again it takes about 3-4 min to get back to idle (it sits on about 1700rpm then makes its way down to 850rpm in stages of bout 150-200rpm over the 3-7 min time ) i think ICV is problem but not sure can anyone help thanks muchly & if i can assist with any 3rd gen conversions then ask away as i know all the issues involved

    I would check the Water Temp Sensor.
    Chances are very likely that's the problem because many of the ECUs functions are tied back to the reading of this sensor.
    Also make sure your sensor ground are good.
