Seriously need help..

[RocCitySlayer]

Im completely at a loss with this car... .
Im still trying to figure out why my car wont just idle smooth. Iv done a BLT and the block held 35psi for as long as I wanted it to with no leaks. I don't have access to a timing light right now but even with the CAS turned as far as itll go and the BISS all the way in and it still wants to idle about 1300-1600rpms, no matter what I do the idle wont stay low. Here a very short idle log I just did. I Just recently moved to Marion, Ny so if anybody lives around me and has any idea whats up or has any parts for sale please pm me. Im almost at the point of giving up and selling this car...

Somehow enough air is getting past your throttle plate to do this. Have you changed shaft seals recently and maybe put the plate on backwards? Is it stuck open a little bit?

I changed the seal last year. I did notice a very little gap around the outside of the plate if I hold it up to the light. I don't see how that little bit of space can let to much air through. Is it possible? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Iv been having issuses since last September or so

Dumb question but is your throttle cable linkage adjusted properly? I live like 10 minutes away from Marion if you ever wanted help working on it

Thank you for posting that. I know this sounds like something too simple to have missed but youd b surprised how many people have their throttle cable too tight and it causes really high idle. My first engine i had a "pro" locally come out and put my engine together cause it was in pieces. He could not figure out why the idle was high: turns out it was the cable

 

[RocCitySlayer]

Yeah iv readjusted that like 3 times and nothing changes

Is there a possibility one of the idle up sensors could be the issue? I know they are in the a/c and power steering systems but to what rpm they idle up I am not sure.

You just need go head over toe and go over every little piece and I mean everything all the wires and everything in the engine bay and make sure its good. Replace anything that is ghetto moded lookin that came when you bought the car.

+1 for the throttle cable. When I put in my 2150's I forgot to bolt down the throttle cable to the fuel rail and I was experiencing high idle issues...kicked myself in the ass an hour later after trying to diagnose the problem.

 

[RocCitySlayer]

I tried adjusting the cable and it did change a thing

Did you test your ISC sensor?

Did you adjust the set screw on the firewall side of the throttle body? It's a small screw with a jam nut on it. It holds the throttle plate open slightly when you let off the throttle. Maybe try turning that counter clockwise a bit to close the throttle plate a bit more.

Just read your profile, saw you have a 1g TB. Adjust the idle position switch on the throttle body. There should be a jam nut on it. Loosen the jam nut, turn the sensor out a bit and see if the idle drops down.

We need a log when the car is at operating temp. TPS adjustment is -11, you should start by trying to get that closer to zero.
