idle issue with the gas pedal?

when the car is running at idle, its kinda high at first and after warm up. I can get it to go down when I pull back on the gas pedal or push the throttle at the tb. is there a way to adjust the spring or loosen the cable a little? the only line attached to the tb is the throttle cable. I have no cruise control or auto transmission..

There is no adjustment on the cable or spring unless you have a holley tb. Have you checked the throttle shaft for play ? It sounds like the wear in the throttle body is causing the blades no fully close.

its an oem tb. ill have to get in there and take a look. theres the wire spring on the drivers side that seemed kinda loose and thought it might be the problem.

thanks though..

Re: idle issue with the gas pedal?

If the throttle body's passages are all clear, you will need to replace the spring with a new one that's got more tention.
Got the same issue here. Lubrication does not help and at times I will have to pull the gas pedal back a little (while in idle) to get the RPM down.
