Still a high idle - this is getting frustrating 200 83

posted by  someone claiming to be jon on  Fri Jun 1 14:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a 1983 242GLT. I got it when it was barely running. I installed a new distributer, turbocharger, injectors, vacuum hoses, cleaned the throttle body, checked for vacuum leaks, and the idle control motor works. It still tachs at 1900 rpms after being run - in neutral. I'm getting a new throttle body setup tommorrow, thinking that the housing in the throttle body is worn since the engine has about 200k on it. Any other suggestions? Is this throttle body an answer? Thanks, Jon
