more idle issues....yay
more idle issues....yay I feel like I have permenant idle issues that just never go away. my car idles between 1500-1800 when cold. while warmed up it may drop to 1300rpms and sometimes drops to 800rpms. I just had a bad o2 sensor so I replaced the burnt up Bosch with a new denso (much better quality). I replaced my tps sensor a few months ago and fixed a ton of vacuum leaks. it seems I no longer have any vacuum leaks but the car is still not idling correctly. I cleaned the maf and iac. any ideas?
Try pulling the battery cables off for a long period. Let it get up to temp then idle in park/n for a while, then put it in D and idle for a bit. Put it back in park and turn it off for at least 20 seconds and repeat.
Over time this might help the car relearn it's idle now that there are no vacuum leaks.

I had a hunch since i reinstalled my intake manifold recently and the gaskets were on their last limb. I pulled it and found this
I replaced all 8 gaskets with new Felpro ones ($15 at auto zone with a 30% off coupon). The idle has not yet come down but ill drive it tomorrow and see how it goes. My throttle responce is SIGNIFICANTLY better, so there was definitely an issue there.
Here are the new ones on my Fast 92.
