Agreed, Phil...the high idle definitely indicates a vacuum leak. But nothing seems to have changed, as least with the secondary system. The pump is still acting exactly the same with the ignition ON as it was before this problem surfaced. I've examined thoroughly under the hood and can't find anything that has come loose. As far as I know, everything hidden under the plenum that involves vacuum is directly related to the secondary system which, as I noted, is not functioning differently. Besides, Bill just went through everything under there with a fine-toothed comb and he tells me that it functions perfectly.
This car has 16K miles and has been garaged its entire life. I hardly ever drive it, yet I seem to have a major issue surfacing roughly every 5 miles of drive time. The aluminum guts of an LT5 are obviously bulletproof but everything surrounding it is clearly ludicrously delicate. Sorry if I'm offending anybody out there but I need to vent. I'm not a mechanic; I want a driver, not a project.
