High, hanging idle issue I have an 01 SS w/ a truck manifold kit. My specs are a mpt76 q-trim, stock 6.0l w/ turbo cam. I went to the track yesterday and on the way back I noticed at the red lights my car was idleing about 200 rpm higher then normal, after making it back it started to let the rpms hang when I let off to shift. Now, with the car sitting at idle the slightest touch of the throttle causes it to raise the rpms over 1500rpm more, and when it does this it hangs there for several seconds the returns to idle. Other than this problem the car runs fine and doesn't miss. I tried changing out the TPS and the IAC but no go. I also pulled the intake off to check there but it still does it. By the way my car is speed density tuned. I would really appreciate some ideas or help trying to track down the cause of this problem. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have checked for vacuum leaks, but I have yet to find any. I even went crazy with carb cleaner, and I still didn't find anything. However, I can hear a faint high-pitch whistle that I can't seem to find.
I am using a BBK 80mm tb.

mine does this because of the way i ran my pcv system. it gets extra air by bypassing the iac. i haven't bothered trying to tune it out yet. i'm auto so it doesn't bother me much.

I have a similar issue, but mine is enough to actually push the front tires if you're on anything other than solid ground. Mine will fix itself by turning the car off and back on though. I'll work on actually correcting the issue later, ha.

My ported throttle body was causing my engine to idle high, I swapped in a stocker and now its fine. Couldn't get the car to idle under 1200 rpm now she idles at 800 or so after swapping
