Engine won't idle correctly

So my 87 Iroc 350tpi/automatic is acting odd. I can fire it up when it calms down will idle at about 1000rpm. After a drive of any amount of time it will idle at 2000k When put in park or neutral. And will stay there unless a quick touch on gas pedal. After that it will drop down to 1000 again, if you touch gas again it goes back 2 grand and stays there like before.



Not sure whats causing this. Also have a issue with starting. Some days it kicks right over other days it acts as if its carbed.

Re: Engine won't idle correctly

Lots of info on here pertaining to this common issue.

For starters, check for codes, and then try this procedure "TO A TEE."
