Car: 1992 Camaro RS
Engine: 305 5.0L TBI
Re: 91 camaro rs idols at 3500 please help

my 92 camaro rs sometimes does the exact same thing. i had my head gaskets replaced along with alot of cooling parts about 7 months back, when i got the car back it has not overheated once but a new problem occured. it idles weird and acts up after i take it on long trips. RPM's jump up-down,stalls, sometimes it runs perfect and sometimes i can hardly get it home. i'v put a new MAP sensor, TPS, replaced plug for IAC(broken) and replaced 1 injector(broken), replaced the IAC and fuel filter. i suppose i'v replaced everything to do with fuel delivery except the EGR valve and fuel pump.

so a 305 TBI car swapped to a 350... Hmmm can you still contact who ever did the swp? that would be a good place to start. Did it jsut randomly start idling high?
