This isn't on-topic (sorry!) but do you actually have a PSI-3 SECS? Where did you get it, and how much did you pay? How tough is the install? Their web site is totally vague and the only shop I can find that sells one (online) is in the UK. Do you think it was a good investment?

I don't have an idea of what to do except take off pieces and replace with stock until you find which one is the culprit. Only option I can think of right now.

Your car is idling at 750. I know, I know, it looks like 500, but get up close and squint and count the lines. It is 750, not 500! If it IS 500, you've got a serious problem...
