Default idle issues... PCM is freakin out

ok....i was at rpm today dialing in the 150 shot ....all went well with that....

jay, jeff and i decided on trying to fix my idleing issues....well....i definately have issues....

heres the problem...

reset the TPS sensor

turn the Key to run position but had the motor off.....and the TPS reads 0%

start the motor and it now reads 2%....thats just by starting the car...so the car is in part throttle tables now....idles like ****....the idle hunts around

now...we got the car rolling bout 20 mph on the dyno and stopped it and the tps went back to 0%....car idles fine!

we switched TPS's...same problem....

what yall think it is...PCM??

Did you mess with the tb or tb screw while adjusting the idle? Is it a FAST tb?

You could try loosening the tps mounting screws, and rotate it clockwise and hold it while you retighten it. That way the tps will read 0 when it's closed. If it's reading above 0%, the car will think you're holding the gas pedal open so it wont try to hold an idle with the iac.

Those are some interesting codes. Maybe try checking all your ground wires.

the thing is...when i have the car off it reads 0%

when i start the car it jumps to 2%....

i drive the car 100 yards and come to a stop and it reads 0%

I would try it anyway and see if it always reads 0 afterwards.

Also might check that you have enough slack in the throttle cable for full closure.
