I was driving my car today and everything was fine.. until I left from lunch. I got in my car and started it and noticed it was idling high. I figured it would idle down but it never did. I stopped the car and put it in park and it was idling up around 1500 rpms in park. I popped the hood and looked at the throttle lever and it was sitting about 1/8-1/4 inch from the throttle stop. If I tap the throttle really fast it will snap all the way back to the throttle stop but if I just gradually ease into the throttle and then let off, it won't snap back all the way and idles way too high. I never did take a look at the throttle spring previously but the throttle spring as it sits now is very loose and I think this is what my problem is. Can someone verify that the spring is supposed to be wound tight.

If it is indeed the throttle spring like I think it is, what can I do about it?? Can the throttle lever and spring be replaced or do I have to buy a new throttle body? If the throttle lever and spring can be replaced does anyone have a part number and do I have to go through GM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

the TB wear and creat gooves....my old one did that....

 

Creates grooves where? I've already cleaned the inside of the TB and the blades and the walls feel smooth.

 

The shaft that the TB blades attach too, it wears...there is a guy that puts in roller bearings and bores out the TB to 52mm for 190....i was gonna do it but i got another car.....the 88.

 

More info please. Phone number, email address?? Anything. Thanks.
