Idle issues- help needed
ok, heres the story, i bought my 92 gta last year sept, it has been a great car, some fixes but under 500$, so im happy, were here is another problem i can not fix. the car can no longer hold an idle. it does no serge like other cars posted, but i will not go out of hi idle. sometimes it even idles at 1400 rmp and will not move. this will hold even when im driving, making it hard to stop. i replaced the iac, or idle air control, and that didnt fix it. plz someone with the same problem who fixed it, or anyone with a suggestion, there all welcome plz help

check your throttle stop to make sure it is not bent// or start car and put a small amount of pressure on throttle and see if it idles down like that if it does one of your cables could be to tight try cruise control if equip. chech throttle cable&passeing gear,if that dont work look at yourthrottle body to see if it is gumed up ///if this dont work let me know

hey, sorry i am sort of new to this web sight, but it is super cool, you can chat and do w/e, i know for a fact it is not this issue, all cables are fine, and i have checked the throttle body, it is clear, i will explain the situation to you better.
when i start my car cold:
the car starts in high idle, which is around 1100, and as far as i know thats normal. when it starts to lower due to engine warming up, it falls to 1000 or 900 rpm and then climbs right back up to 1100. since it is like 30 degrees here, the car des not need to warm up very long so this prosess talkes 15 seconds to start.
when i start my car already warm:
it starts and holds idle at 1400 rpm, that is, nothing elce
some of the side effects of this is hard to stop, there is increased power all the time, just like in high idle, but its more. it also jumps when i take my foot off the break. it also down ****fs hard and is really jsut a big problem. i thought i would explain some the symptomes even though you probably already know them, every thing can help me right now.
i dont like talking my car to a garage if i can help it, but i phoned one and he said it could be a vaccume leak, does that sound right?
