Idle problems
Hoping someone may have an idea why my '86 stock coupe (Automatic) is idling very high. In park its idling at 13-1400 rpm and in gear it idling at 1100 rpm. I backed the idle set screw to the point it is not touching the throttle linkage and its still idling this high.. I took off the TB, Plenum and runners and cleaned them all thoroughly (there was 16 years worth of build-up) and reinstalled with new gaskets, put all new vacuum tubing in and a new EGR valve in, put some oil on the throttle linkage spring (thinking it may be sticking). The EGR solenoid was working properly. I reset the TPS. I started the car this morning and it's still idling at the same rpm as before....
Any other ideas where to go from here??????????
Thanks for any help
:crazy:

Re: Idle problems (kumabaron)
It sure sounds like you have vacuum leak. Short of that, how about your TPS? should read between .3-.9V and the throttle angle should be 0 degrees at idle. But my $ is on the vacuum leak.
