Somebody please help!!!!!
So this is what I got.
I start the car up and it is fine. No Idle surge nothing. Warms up Idles fine as well. The problem is whe I hit the brakes to slow down. As the RPMs decrease it will surge. When the car has almost stopped completely it will jump from about
500 rpm - 1500 rpm and then it will eventually even out. Just cleaned the TPS sensor, and all the ignition stuff is less than a year old (plugs, wires, coil, cap, rotor).
What I recently did to the car (today 3/7/04) Was install a set of Edelbrock Valve covers (No Baffles). Could it be my PCV Valve sucking up oil? But if it was wouldn't the car run crummy all the time? I really need help guys I am leaving on a trip to orlando on friday and I don't want the car to die on the way up. Please Help...

Well it didn't work perfect before the valve covers either...
So i'm going to check that too though.

You cleaned the throttle positionin sensor, so I assume you cleaned the entire throttle body. If not, then do that becasue my car did the same thing and a TB cleaning fixed it right up. But Dale has a point, does kinda sound like a vacume leak. Did you use all new gaskets when you reasembled the TB? If not then that could be your problem.
