Talking GS430 A/C off Low Idle problem. Gone Now!

I have a 2001 GS430. Sometimes when in drive at a light if the a/c is on idle is fine if its off then a little low and rough. Well no more for me I purchased a Grounding Kit from Paul Kwan at TekKits.com , and its gone, tranyy shifts better, lights are brighter. For less then $80 bucks its great. The instructions are amazing so Easy from start to finish in 45min including removing and reinstalling the RMM Strut bar. If you have the Idle problem definitely Buy a Tek Kit. For $80 even if you don't have low idle buy one. Smoother shifts brighter lights. Thank You Paul.

I have a 2000 gs4 and also did the grounding kit and had it installed at TMEngineering. Still have the rough idle.

Glad it worked out for you. I guess for the price it's worth a try for those that has this problem.

CAN YOU POST A PIC WITH THE ENGINE BAY AFTER THE INSTALL?? i AM INSTALLING THE GROUND KIT MYSELF TOO BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST PLACE TO CONNECT THEM.
ALTERNATOR, CHASSIS, THROTTLE, AND ENGINE. THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF. THEY SAY MORE CONNECTION IS BETTER.
plEASE HELP./
