just picked up a 98 camaro ls1. the idle is at about 1100 rpm wondering how this can be adjusted without screwing up the tps.

thanks matt

sounds like an intake leak or your throttle body blade isnt closing all the way. try cleaning your tb and checking for intake manifold leaks

it idles at this if its cold or hot.


what would be good to clean the tb with? gum cutter? 2+2?

thanks, matt

anything inpeticular i should be looking for? Leaks? if it closes all the way? i was told that the idle can be adjusted with the computer is this true?

As far as I know it can not be adjusted.

Look at the throttle plate, it may be drilled or might not be closing all the way. Also listen around for vacuum leaks.

Are you sure there is not a cam in there?

i think i found the problem. i pluged it in today at work to the obdII computer and it said the tps was at 0 when it was just sitting so then i started it up and the computer said it was idleing at 800 rpm! i think i trust the computer more that the tach so im not too worried about it. i also checked for vaccum leaks on the intake and didnt find any.

I had a similar issue with a leak on my pcv valve hose. I had a big hole in the backside of this hose and when I replaced it my idle dropped to normal.
