about a week ago i cleaned my throttle body and ever since then my idle is really high between 2-3k. ive been reading through all kinds of topics that ive searched on h-t and yesterday i cleaned th IACV and still i have this high idle. if im coming to a red light and take the car out of gear the rpms will stay @ 2-3k if i blip the gas pedal they will fall and idle just like normal....its almost like the butterfly is sticking just a hair ....any suggestions....can i put any lubrication where the butterfly closes @.....any suggestions would be appreciated

you should look over what you took off.

 

i dint really take anything off...i sprayed the cleaner in the throttlebody... and scrubbed inside with an old toothbrush....and afer i cleaned the iacv i bled the coolant

 

then your plate could be sticking. lube her up haha

 

what could i use that wouldnt be harmful to the motor?

 

wd40 shouldn't hurt. just don't spray a whole lot.

I'm with him . Even the techs I work with say make sure there are no air bubbles in the cooling system.

 

bled the system right after i cleaned the iacv.....it seems like the throttle plate is catching inside the throttle body

 

so did ya spray it with anything yet?

 

just throttlrbody cleaner.....but it is surging now up and down....and if i plug the hole that goes to the iacv it stops....bled the coolant again still doin it....is there any way to test the iacv to see if its any good?
