Default Idle Problem

Have a 1992 and it has an idle problem. Idled at 2k rpm. Changed IAC and it settles in at 1100 rpm after reset done, but climbs back to 1500 rpm after warmup. No vacuum leaks. I do need to replace brake booster, but I don't think that would cause the idle problem. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes it can Big Vacuum leak, so you might want to pull and plug line for testing.

I had a similar idle situation. After many months of fretting over it, replacing the ECM fixed it.

Never mind. That's what I get for reading threads too soon after waking up. Glad you found your issue.
