replace your tb gasket with a new one then see what happens....if you search this topic theres a bunch of threads on it and many things it could be such as vacum leak, sensor plugged in wrong spots, coolant has air in it, and so on. Do the TB gasket first though

 

I jus ordered th TB gasket.. any other options? or suggestions... or anybody who had similiar problems and fixed theres? bump

idk if this would help you but im searching for the same problem..but alil more information..

 

i had a similar problem, it was a vaccum leak for me

i had replaced the intake manifold, and there were a few places i took off the hoses and covered with a rubber cap, well the cap was fine for a while, then it got a small crack in it that got bigger and bigger.... hard to notice at first, but once i fixed it the idle went right down

make sure you check any and all lines even on the underside of the intake, and make sure the bolts on the TB are tight!

 

yea im pretty sure it mite be the throttle body gasket.. as i have a new one comming monday.. but keep posting if u had similar problems.. and what u did to fix it..

 

i had the same problem, i replaced my idle control sensor, and worked fine.

 

were you throwing a code? mlewis412

 

bump any more suggestuions?

 

I FINALLY GOT MY THROTTLE BODY GASKET... AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM....IT WAS THAT I HAD THE WRONG THROTTLE BODY GASKET ON.. I DONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED.... GUESS THE PERSON WHO BUILT MY MOTOR BUT ON THE WRONG ONE... OH WELL.. IDLE IS BACK TO NORMAL....NOW GOING TO GET RETUNED..

 

NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN I PUT DA CAR IN NUETRAL... ANY SUGGESTION.. SHOULD I TRY AND ADJUST THE IDLE WITH THR IDLE SCREW.. COULD IT BE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.. LET ME KNOW THANXS???

 

BUMP.. FOR A REPLY
