If you guys remember correctly when we got it running after the UIM/LIM failure the idle was way high. I installed a new TPS, no changed. I adjusted the butterfly back because my son accidently tightened the retaining nut on the end of the shaft of the butterfly. At this point I wonder if the high idle really ever got fixed. I did remove the MAF and looked at it. I know I didn't clean it when I cleaned the TB. I went to do that tonight and we don't have a #!@&*% Q-Tip. One other piece of info... 2 days ago it started doing this thing were it wont start when it cold unless you step on the gas and pump it a little bit. When you let off of of the gas to let it idle it wants to die and then it catches itself and starts to idle around 1100 rpm How do I need to proceed. As always...TIA. Sorry about the long post.

High Idle? Have you tried changing out the IAT sensor, or testing it? That could be it...

http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...e=article&k=24

In fact, that'* the only thing I can think of...
The P0107 DTC is a MAP (MAF) code, as I think you know... Cleaning it SHOULD fix it, if it doesn't, try getting one at a pick n pull.

Thanks Petra. I have cotton swabs now So I'll clean the MAF and do the resisitance check on the IAT sensor. Thats the sensor located in the air intake bellows right?

I'll get back to ya.

Update -

I've checked all of the vacuum lines, cleaned the MAF, and verified that the IAC is moving. I've also replaced the TPS (when the UIM/LIM procedure was replaced last month. I ohmed out the IAT. It read 5.56K @ 50 degree air temp. I'm starting to believe this is more of a mechanical issue with the butteryfly being stuck open enough to be letting to much air past it and causing the high idle. What else can I do to check this out further? Can anyone else think of anything else to try before I take the TB back off and inspect?

BTW, the ses light went out, but that probably was cleared because we've had the battery cable off today putting in the amp and sub for my son.

Thanks...

Based on the information available, we can only speculate without knowing the history of what your repairs have been, or without knowing if your car was in gear, or neutral when the freeze frame data was recorded. If the engine was loaded, or unloaded would make a difference in vacuum readings. You should take a close look at the manifold vacuum data (8.26 inHg) as a possible source of your high idle problem. This is an extremely low vacuum on an unloaded engine! In addition, check the TPS reading on the scanner at idle, and post your findings.

Z,

Thanks for the reply. As far as the repairs that I have done, I have replaced th UIM and LIM gaskets as previously stated in my earlier post. This included cleaning the TB, and replacing the TPS sensor. Check this link out http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...ic.php?t=89507
After these repairs, the car was ok except for the high idle @ 1000 rpm. The car ran fine till a week ago when It wouldn't start with out putting your foot on the gas pedal and opening the TB plate a little. We also have a ses light now as well. With codes

P0107
P0122
P0507

I just got the proscan software a few weeks ago, so I'm still trying to figure it out. I can navigate the software ok, but the values I see don't mean anything to me because I don't understand if they are good or bad......know what I mean I need help diseminating all the data. For instance "Intake Manifold Pressure (inHg): 8.26086956521739 " What should it be? and why is it that low? BTW, the car was in park when the FF was taken. Can you explain this further:
In addition, check the TPS reading on the scanner at idle
I'm not sure I can look at that with the version of the prodata software that I have. Thanks in advance for your help.

I had a fast idle when I forgot to put the PCV back in. It is important that it has a good seal (ie: o-ring).

Your DTC’* interputed:
P0107 MAP sensor detects manifold pressure/vacuum out of range
P0122 TPS out of range-- low circuit voltage
P0507 Idle out or range (Obviously high)

Wow, you have really been through the ringer with this one. First, one of your DTC’* are consistent with low manifold pressure/vacuum, or a bad MAP sensor. Vacuum @ idle should be in the range of 16-18 in hg. You should use a vacuum gage on one of the manifold vacuum ports to confirm the scan readings. Are you sure that the MAP sensor was not damaged during all of this work and has a good vacuum source? (Good seal or vacuum hose)

The reason I ask you to check the TPS reading with a scanner is; you need to see what the PCM is using for the TPS voltage. You can check the voltage @ the TPS with a DMM and it may check within range (.5v – 4.0v @ WOT), however that does not mean that the PCM is using that same information to work with. You can have the TPS reading (voltage) scanned at one of the major part suppliers. This “scanned” reading is very important! More than likely, the idle air control IAC is not your problem.

Things to check:
1) Engine vacuum @ idle (using manual vacuum gage)
2) MAP sensor readings (using scanner)
3) TPS readings (using both DMM @ the TPS & then with scanner)
4) IAC counts (using a scanner)

Also, FYI here is a good link on the TPS DTC (P0122)

Note: This is not vehicle specific TPS information, but can be used as a guide
