Gumout Carb + Choke cleaner - BTW, I do remember scubbing on it a liittle ( the little springy looking thing) with the ol' tooth brush.

Was the MAF sensor in the TB when you cleaned it also, and as Don asked, what cleaner did you use?

Do you have both o-rings on the pcv now? One on the cap and one on the valve?

No the MAF was removed. I used the procedure that'* here on the forum. I'll check the O rings. I know for a fact that the big o ring for the cap is there. It came with one with the UIM. I'll check that out as well. Thanks for the help fellas.

Both O rings are installed - no doubt. The bigger one and the smaller one around the body of the PCV itself. I think we can rule that out....

I suspect a vac leak or IAC issue. If you don't have a scantool, you'll need to get it scanned to watch the IAC counts and make sure it'* moving.

Vac leaks can be pinpointed by spraying carb cleaner on each vacuum connection at idle, as well as around the base of the TB and UIM.

Your idle will change when you find your leak, as the carb cleaner is sucked in and combusted.

Will AZ be able to do this scanning ? Will their scanner be able to detect the IAC counts ?

I just pulled the IAC sensor. Should I be able to push the plunger in with my thumb? I cant move it. Does that mean its stuck open?

It'* a stepper motor (controller, not sensor) that has a geared shaft. Think of it as rack and pinion. No, you cannot easily push it in.

Hook it up but leave it out. Start the car (you'll have to plug most of it'* hole with your thumb). Does it move when starting or trying to start?

Will,

Man do I fill ike an idiot. I think when I replaced the TPS, I forgot to put the rubber "T" back on the side of the TB. I put the IAC back in it, put the evap line back on it and it'* better, but still high at 1200 - 1400 rpm. When first started it idles at 1000, but then climbs slowly during warm up.

I assume the IAC steps in and out to adjust how much air flows therfore adjusting the idle speed.

I'd check for other vacuum leaks, just in case.

Haro,

I think thats where I'm headed. thanks for the input.
