    Seemingly random, intermittent high idle?

    well this issue seems to have sorted itself out. When i was looking down in the iac passage it seemed fine visually. I sprayed some cleaner on the tip of the pintle and then tapped the throttle on and off so the iac pintle would extend and retract. i figured if there was some residue sitting...

    Seemingly random, intermittent high idle?

    thats good news. Maybe i will put them on the back burner for now. Ive used the grease on every wire/plug ive ever changed also. im probably just experiencing a case of "WebMD effect" thinking everything is gonna go horribly wrong and kill me or something. Today if everything goes well im...

    Seemingly random, intermittent high idle?

    I did monitor the coolant level after the intake gasket job, and it needed to be topped up a few times but its maintaining coolant level now and i feel the air has been worked out but i will keep this in mind

    Seemingly random, intermittent high idle?

    i have done some multimeter testing of the TPS while mounted to the TB and moving the throttle plates manually but this was with a digital HF multi meter, so i might first try with an analog one. I also did test for voltage at the connector with ignition on, and also pulled the TPS and tested...

    Seemingly random, intermittent high idle?

    this is something ive seen a few times posted when people are talking about issues similar to mine, so i will check this out again for sure. When i cleaned the TB, i sprayed it with TB cleaner with it removed from the intake. I sprayed it down good, probably 2 cans of cleaner. Basically...

    Firstly, i viewed the threads that came up as suggestions when naming this thread. They did not provide any answers for my issue. Secondly, To avoid a massive wall of TLDR text, my previous post that i edited the title to say *Solved* provides backstory on things ive done prior when solving...

    1994 5.7 TBI installing Harmonic balancer, crankshaft balancer, vibration dampener etc

    When i was doing this balancer job, i did not know there was a seal to replace and i was already in the process of putting the balancer back on when i asked for help determining if i was doing it correct. I had a couple people ask if i replaced the seal. I said no cause it was not leaking...

    * solved * (bad egr) Stinky Exhaust and Struggling to hold idle when warmed up

    this seems to be a very common issue and just last night i decided to test my old ECT sensor using little dishes with diff temps of water in it. I found online a list of the correct OHM readings at various temperatures for this sensor and used it as a guide. I determined that my old ECT was...

    * solved * (bad egr) Stinky Exhaust and Struggling to hold idle when warmed up

    No codes. The EGR looked pretty normal when i had it off and the diaphragm felt normal, it was not easy, nor too hard to push. I have also disconnected the vacuum line to the EGR while idling and it doesnt change anything. I dont know how to diagnose it beyond that but im open to ideas. I...

    1994 5.7 TBI installing Harmonic balancer, crankshaft balancer, vibration dampener etc

    So before I had any responses on here, I went to a Chevy dealer to buy a new damper bolt. I talked to a service guy who is an older school dude who knows about Chevy motors which was great. I showed him so pics and explained things. He felt like I had not reached the full seat of the damper...

    1994 5.7 TBI installing Harmonic balancer, crankshaft balancer, vibration dampener etc

    I just finished doing intake manifold gaskets, and a bunch of other gaskets along the way. Got it all put back together and when i was setting the timing i noticed my harmonic balancer wobbling quite a bit. I did some research and it sounds like it is not good to continue driving it like this...

    Electrical problem

    Thank you! I guess because when i removed my negative cable prior to removing the computer and stuff i didnt notice any abnormalities. The screw backed out normal and the cable came off. It didnt feel like it was super loose or anything. So i guess i just ruled it out without thought. I...

    Compass temperature auto dimming mirror gmt400

    I ended up grounding it to just test the mirror and i think I'm gonna be fine with it like this. If I end up reversing into a spot light at night and I struggle to see I might mess with it. And if that's the case I just have to figure out which wire and tap it. But for now all is well. Ty my...
