i checked all over for vacuum leaks but none came up. whenever i sit and idle when warm or semi warm i get a surge from 1000rpm idle to 1400rpm then either back down to 1000 or it does it back to back. i cleaned my IAC motor still has a little carbon on it but im thinking i need to replace it.
anyone have any other ideas?

maf wires to the maf? well i ran it on speed density map un plugged and it still did it.
would the IAC make it surge above 2000rpm? i think it may be plug wires but who knows.

sitting still at normal temp itll surge up to about 1500rpm for 1 second and drop back down or repeat it 2 or 3 times in a row.
im thinking ICM now. elec ignition.
itll surge holding the gas steady above 2000rpm. itll also give me a hesitation/misfire while cruising in 2nd or 3rd around 3000rpm.

cranks great.
it has the power it should all the way to 5500rpm. it spins 2nd like all hell. its just a little hickup. between 2000 and 3500rpm. not all the time its more random.

yea ill try to see if i can use it. i checked a little earlier and my ignition coil is loose on its platform or holder or whatever it is. i can move it when wiggling the coil to opti wire.

ok today i held the car at 3000rpm and saw the tach jump 200rpm every few seconds. and a popping in the exhaust when it surged. im thinking ICM now and plug wires.
it didnt do anything on idle today until i beat on the car to get the seafoam out of the engine. i unplugged the IAC and it ran great except a few bounces up to 1100rpm.
just for the hell of it and well money's sake, who thinks its the opti?

the car is on its rag i think. LT1 PMS. i tapped the ICM on idle and i get no more missfiring at 3k. the idle is doing good since i unplugged the IAC and ran it then let it sit overnight unplugged.
ill check the connector

bump*
found the boot going from the opti to the ignition coil torn 1/4" on the coil boot.
its arching out onto the block i bet. and im replacing the IAC valve. i did a resistance test on it and it came out less than 40 ohms. normal is 40-80 ohms.
