Earlier today I did a burnout from a stop sign. When I got home, I put it in park, and I had an unusual high RPM's (1,100 rpm). I turned off the IROC and fired her back up and it was at the normal 600 rpm's. I have no troublecodes either. What can be causing this? I searched up and down in my repair manuals for a solution but I couldnt find anything. Any advice guys?

almost like the park neutral switch was stuck. weird only you !!! lol

 

Sup my friend. Come to think of it. About 2 years ago, I went to turn on the IROC and I had absolutely no crank nor click. Almost like as if the battery was stone cold dead. But after a few turns of the key, it fired up quick. Not sure if that is relavent to the neutral switch.

 

sup man, call me whenever !!

 

I had a problem just like this, the car didn't react at all when I would try cranking it. My dad and I had found that if we wiggled the shifter a little bit when it was still in park, there was a certain "spot" that it would crank in. Eventually, it stopped cranking in park completely, so I had to crank in neutral. Once I replaced the neutral safety switch, it totally fixed my issue!

 

Well my Camaro reacts just fine. Its completely drivable. Its just that I dont understand why it idles at 600 rpms and then 1000+ later on.

 

wonder if the ect is messed up or the throttle shaft is worn.

 

BRIAN!!! Sup brother. Whats the throttle shaft? I actually thought about checking the voltage of the TPS when the idle is good. But then when it acts up, check it agian. Perhaps I got a spike or a bad spot on the TPS.

 

sup andrew !, nice avatar The throttle shaft on the throttle body. The stock throttle body wears into the aluminum and over the years can cause a vacuum leak. You can feel the end play moving the shaft back and forth from the front of the car to the back in direction. It should be almost none. sometime you can feel it in the 1/4 throttle position. carb and choke cleaner can also help find a leak spaying in around the throttle linkage side of the throttle body shaft.

 

Thanks. I did the photoshop myself. Ok. I'll check into that tomorrow (play on the tb).

 

Morning Brian. Here is the original photo and the finished product.

It's like a mini iroc, how do you squeeze in there lol

 

Suck in the stomach and squeeze in. Thats the easy part. I have to honk the horn with my nose. hahahaha

 

my old throttle body did this after hammering on it.a few issues with that stock piece i had was a weak return spring not letting the throttle blades return back and I could pull back on the gas pedal and drop the idle,plus the throttle shaft and blades were gummed up from years of carbon build.if your motor is built up then i suggest just getting a new throttle body and upgrade now..or have the stock one rebuilt and polish it up to flow some more.

 

So it may be a mechanical failure? hhmmm.... New Throttlebody..... Sounds like I hear a 52mm at my doorstep.. hahaha

 

well its a new throttle body or first try a $10 can of throttle body cleaner first.Take it off..remove the iac and give the throttle body a good bath.let it dry and put it back on and hope it prolongs its life.i got away with that for awhile.

 

I already sprayed the tb last month when I put on a new "IROC-Z" TB upper plate. Problem was there before and after.
