quick question, my 89 for some reason starts great and will drive great but after warming up when in park or stopped at light it will idle anywhere from 500-1100 rpms. again this is only when warmed up, when i first start its an even idle at 800rom. exhaust fumes really burn the ol eyes. also noticed that i can disconnect the TPS and car idles exactly the same. hopefully i can get some feedback. Thanks
through it to remove the combustion chamber carbon build-up, due to
a lot of slow driving-it smoothed the idle right out.
In the old days (60's), we used to drip water down the carb. while
while flipping the throttle- did the same thing.

removed the vacuum line from vapor canister to throttle body and idles just fine, could a clogged vapor canister cause this?? also can i just remove vapor canister altogether? who ever has done this how can i?

Ok, reviving a dead thread here, was there any resolution to this issue. I ask of course because my 88 is doing the same dang thing. I haven't changed anything yet, but I have checked the TPS settings and have ohmed out the injectors and all is good there. OP, are you out there, and did you find a cure ?
