IAC didn't fix the problem with my idle My 93 trans am has been idling about 300-400 rpm high at about 1100-1200 rpm. Everyone told me it was my IAC, so i shell out 75 dollars and it didn't help. I tried the hold the gas when starting and wait 5 seconds, it didn't help. I just screwed the little pin in a few threads and stuck it in, should I do something different? |

I took the intake off, what do you mean by closing all the way? The pin itself couldn't really be pushed by my finger. |

Not all the way, most the way.. is that the problem? |
yes it is. More air the higher the idle. |

I'm sorry I'm such a noob, I just thought that was correct, I just turned 17 lol. How do I adjust these? |
And no I just have intake/flomasters with del cat. |
Did you actualy see if your IAC was even the issue? Get yourself the free trial of TTS Datamaster and see if the IAC is functioning correctly, you could have other issues. 0 is fully open 160 is fully closed. |
http://shbox.com/1/accelerator_stop.jpg Adjust that screw so that the blades close all the way. It's on the back of the TB by where the cable attaches. If you pull open the blades by hand, you should see the screw protruding to stop the lever at a certain point. You might have to remove the TB to do so. FYI, alot of TB gaskets will block this adj screw, so you might not see it. |
It turns out that the blades are closed, but it's not perfectly straight up and down, which I don't think that they could get that way am I right? |

How do I check for vac leaks? |
how about the tps that sounds like the problem |
I was thinking TPS, but someone said that didn't effect idle..? |

I think I found it, just to the left of the intake there's a 90* rubber elbow connected to a 6 inch tube, that fitting is absolutley shot. Would that be it? |
