High Idle...need ideas
Well, I pulled the plenum put it back together, had a vacuum leak.....vac would not hold on the line running from the D/S center of the plenum. Found a leak in the hard line, pin hole, fixed it....put it all back together and still have high idle.
Vacuumm holds on both the pass/driver side plenum inlets. Also vac is holding on the line running from the pump to under the plenum. Any other ideas, PCVs seem to be sealed. I did replacet the breather hoses, maybe I should check there first. I also swapped the new IAC form my 92 and no help.

Re: High Idle...need ideas
I wonder if your check valve is stuck. But if your check valve is stuck your vacumm pump would be running constantly so I'm not sure. Unpluging that drivers side hose from the plenum will definately cause high idle. And that line goes to the check valve.

My pump only kicks on for a few seconds every 5 minutes.

Re: High Idle...need ideas
yup, got that one, everything is connected, car idled well before I tore into it....however gaskets had to go as they were leaking oil.
I will take a look tomorrow, and try a spray bottle to check leaks.

Re: High Idle...need ideas
what PROM is in the car?
my 90 did the same thing, was fine when I bought it, but when I R&Red the plenum last year I had that problem.. I had an OEM variation in the car, I switch to the later version for better IAC steps and it seemed fine

Re: High Idle...need ideas
DRM chip, I think I am chasing a leak, just not in the usual vac lines.
