If I find tools over and my girlfriends house, I might go to the junkyard tomorrow to get air dam.

My idle tps is 16.

You still have a lower tps than I do. On a flat road at 55, it is at least 21. Sometimes, when it's running good, it will stay around 19-20 though.

I really need to remake under tray. I just haven't had time.

My water temp used to run the exact same way pre a/c removal.

I'm going to try coasting more. That is definitely the hardest technique to make stick. It makes driving places a lot longer.

My belt squeel is slowly getting worse. Any ideas to make it tighter? I mean, my belt tensioner is pretty much shot.

Also, adding seafoam to crankcase seems to have helped with the rough idle. It doesn't shake nearly as bad.
