Re: Still a high idle - this is getting frustrating 200 83

Jon -

I am not a turbo guy, just N/A 240's. You said the idle air control, the usual suspect in high idle situations, works OK. I would do the "Pliers" test. With engine at its high idle, use a large pliers to slowly close off one of the vacuum lines from the IAC. If the idle drops, the IAC system isn't working. The motor may be OK, but it's not getting the signal from the throttle position switch.

Good Luck,

Bob
