Re: Need Help Real Bad Camaro Iroc-Z

Sounds like the Idle Air Control motor is bad or needs adjusting. Have you tried adjusting it?

No, it may need adjustment. there are instructions on the boards on how to adjust it. Do a search and you will find it. I bet that will take care of the problem. Also could be the throttle position sensor. You can check and adjust it using the process found on these boards as well.

Re: Need Help Real Bad Camaro Iroc-Z

It's possible, but I have never had that issue (EGR) with any of my cars. I can not speak from experience on that one.

Re: Need Help Real Bad Camaro Iroc-Z

IIRC, it should be hard to move. I think its a "geared" motor, but I honestly cannot remember, as it's been about three years since I replaced one.

Re: Need Help Real Bad Camaro Iroc-Z

I think that if you check/adjust both the IAC and the TPS that will end your problems.. Let us know.
