Yeah man ... Im in Toronto... it's damn cold ....
As for my VAC leak, i know that it's my problem... cuz i have the ends wide open.... and just havnt fixed it... fortunatly it doesnt through codes on me.. so no real rush. ahha ...
My symptoms must be from a vacuum leak or the ECU's handling of the cold. It did not happen at lunch today.
I remember something like this happening to me last winter that went away with warmer weather.
It's so minor a may not bother to fix it.

Would there be any benefit to wiring a switch to this circuit that could be mounted somewhere to enable/disable the circuit easily. It would allow for easy testing of strange symptoms.

Holden, the rising / falling idle symptoms you describe sound the same as I (and many others) get with factory ZC CRXs - the universal fix is to bleed the coolant system. Yeah, it is a long way from ZCs to tegs, but it may be worth a try.

man walks into a bar with an ostrich and a cat, all night the man and the ostrich get up and buy the drinks.
At the end of the night, the barman asks the man why he drinks with an ostrich and a cat, and why does the cat never buy the drinks.
The man replies "I once met a Genie, and for my one wish, I asked for a long legged bird with a tight pussy..."
Perhaps you have to be Scottish to find that funny.

After more driving on it, I'm sure it's a vacuum leak. It feels just like one. I just have to find it.
nexusone:
Simply moving the purple (ground) wire (from the relay to the pressure switch) to connect to ground instead of the pressure switch will disable the "trick".

It was a vacuum leak.
I put hose clamps on all the vacuum lines running out of the manifold (6 for the FPR and BTC lines, 6 for the OE FPR and Boost Gauge lines) last night. After that, the only non-clamped vacuum lines were between the PCS and S-neck. I didn't feel like going under the car last night, so I just crossed my fingers that the 12 hose clamps I installed caught the leak.
They did. Idle is back to normal/perfect. I don't know if the BTC install 2 weeks ago introduced the leak or if cold weather started a leak where there wasn't one in warm weather.
FYI: I should have had clamps on these hoses from the start. Losing vacuum to the FPR's is bad news and high boost can blow the lines off. I really meant to do this after LostSOL (right person?) blew her engine this way, but I'm a champion procrastinator.
