Still need help with idle. someone please!!!!!

QUIN · 06-18-2001, 07:38 AM

this is the only thing keeping me from driving my car on a more regular basis. i cant get this idle to smooth out for the life of me.
I used the feeler gauge method and it seemed like it was working. car surged at first and sounded like it was 'searching'. then all of a sudden it found it and held about a 700 idle for 10 seconds or so. i was briefly tickled! all of a sudden it starts surging again, much more violently than before. does this for a minute then just shuts down on the lo-end of the surge. the surge is so low it wont stay running. so then i back it out to see if it will matter to drive it up the road and back,,, no good. still dying w/o foot on gas.
here are my last ideas. replace tps one more time. change my bap to a map (or is it vice versa?) since i never did that when chaging to mass air although the instructions said you didnt have to.
other than this i am running out of ideas.
someone please help!!!! this is killing me! cant readily drive in columbus with your idle pulling this crap!
