motor idles up and down 93 regal 3.1
Motor idles up n down in 500rpm blows black smoke and dies when u put in gear. How many airffliw sensors are I replaced the 2 bolt round one. What else could this be computer? Cat? Any suggestions on what to repair next
The IAC (intake air control) can cause this.Got a photo of what u replaced?
The TPS can cause issues, and the other is the Maf or mass airflow sensor.
Did u have the vehicle scanned for computer codes? Is the check engine light on?

What is the "2 bolt round one" you replaced? Was that the Idle Air Control? The would be the first thing I would look at. Next would be the throttle position sensor. Here is a write up on how to test it:

Also, check for any vacuum leaks.

I'm not sure it is the PCM though, is the mechanic using a scanner that can communicate with OBD 1.5?
i think 93 would just be obd1. they had the chips, but if you get a different pcm and put your chip in it that still could be the problem. i would go through the mentioned tests first, pcm is normally last resort and not a very common failure
