f--- up idle

[sulimed]

just swaped in a h23, and my idle is jump up to 4000 RPM, checked iM gasket didn't seem to be the prob.

o and i recently repaced the head gasket too. help

[Mr_Doitagain]

Most times you can play with the idle screw on the TB… It helps some people and for others no help at all…. I know it helped me on my h22…

How's your throttle stop screw, throttle cable deflection?

Even with a leaky gasket and a small vacuum leak, my idle has only gone up to about 2000 and 1200 in gear.

sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere to me. Check on the manifold

[sulimed]

i heard spraying starter fluid on the manny can help you find the leak.....has anyone tried it?

[accordaffair]

I never had any luck with that method, but it couldn't hurt

[whatever210]

usally if you idle that high, you usally have a major vaccum leak. cheak all your intake manifold gaskets

[sulimed]

it was the dame throttle cable..lol

Yea it works. Water works too but its a little less noticeable. Glad to hear you found the problem though.

OK...i thought i got it. it's wierd......i had forgot to plug the TPS back in. the car drove fine, but i got a cel code 7. the idle was high (2000rpm), but steady. i looked up the code, and found out the the tps wasn't pluged in.......plug it back in, and the idle got pichy again. only this time it's between 1000-2000 rpm

You didnt play with the adjustment on it right? Replace any gaskets around that area lately?
