IDLING a little too high

ok when i first start my car idling is like 1300 then when warmed up
it stays at 1000 to 1100
ten when im driveing and let go of the gas the rpm drops to 1300
and will take a long time to settle at 1100
what can be the cause of it
i changed the plugs,wires,pcv,dizzy so what else could cause the problem

Unplug your IACV sensor, while the car is running after it has warmed up to normal operating temp, look for a screw on the top left hand corner of the TB, turn the screw in until the RPMs drop to around 800-900 RPM

Are you talking about adjusting the IACV itself? Or the TB screw that adjusts the throttle spool

Yeah, Adjusting on the throttle spool throws off the voltage on the TPS sensor.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I think he means the Idle Adjustment screw on the TB beside the RED Vac Line.
