High idle flooded plugs
Sorry in advance for the long post . I'm also having a hard time operating this site and I may not be posting in the right place. I have a1992 Camaro Rally Sport. It is a 5-speed 6 cylinder. this is what I'm dealing with. I'm going to name everything I have done to this car and maybe someone can tell me if there's anything I have missed!!
Ignition coil, new spark plugs, plug wires, oil change and filter, two starters,(trouble shooting) TPS, TCS, IAC, map sensor, EGR, fuel pump, fuel filter, all vacuum hoses replaced, brand new computer, rebuilt throttle body from RockAuto, manifold work and catalytic converter has checked out, o sensor. Fuel pressure regulator and pelenium.
It is dumping fuel in all 6 plugs and running at high idle. 2000 +. It was running fine until one sensor went out on it... and it went from one sensor to the next, to the next, to the next. I have also replaced the sensors more than once to rule out that they were not faulty. Someone please help me!

Re: High idle flooded plugs
We call this troubleshooting with Visa. Rarely works. You need a proper scan tool with ability to see live data, and even more important you need someone that understands the data and can properly interpret it.
High idle is too much airflow at idle. Simple - either there's a vacuum leak or the idle control is not setup properly or not working or being commanded to open too far due to other incorrect ECM inputs (CTS reading engine temp very low, etc). Or the throttle is propped open, etc. Find the source(s) of the air and you find the source of the high idle.
You really can't fix this without proper troubleshooting. And we can't either.
