Has anyone replaced......
Has anyone replaced their idle air control valve. I would like to know what your car was behaving like before it was replaced to compare to what my car is doing, I also had a previous post (please help can't start) with lots of info on the problem I am having if info is needed.

I replaced that and the TPS, it would randomly not start for like 5 mins at a time and the idle would stay at 2-3k rpms. I'm not sure if it was both or just one of the things I replaced that fixed but it fixed the issue I was having.

thanks for the reply it gives me confidence that what my camaro is doing is the same as yours so it should be a similar fix. I get the part tomorrow so I will post results as a reply.

Mine didn't fix right away. I had to let it run and drive it like 20-30 mins with the new stuff before the issue went away. It seemed like the computer had to re-learn some stuff I guess.

thanks for the input, I replaced the idle air control valve and the bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor. The car started and I drove it around for like 30 minutes doing some highway and street driving. The problem isn't fully gone though because when I am driving and keeping consistant speed the car engine still sounds like its going in and out from having power. Also at low speeds around 30 - 35 the engine will also seem to be losing power and I give it gas and it will take a second then come back to full power. Not sure but I am going to do a full throttle body cleaning tonight and fuel injectors. I also bought and added a can of sea foam system cleaner to the gas so that might help.
