I have read threads and tried a lot of things and cant find an answer. TPS is not problem sprayed all connections. throttle body clean. anyone have new ideas?

 

On your intake manifold near the front is a tower shaped thing with 2 vacuum lines coming off it, one goes to tje fuel pressure regulator on the rail rhw other to your egr solenoid. If they are both rotted and leaking it could cause high idle but idk bout 3k rpm idle

 

How have you determined that the TPS is not the problem?

 

Idle air controller died in open position.

 

Does it whistle?
Loose intake manifold bolts can cause a big vacuum leak and high idle.
Been there - done that.

 

I've never seen an IAC cause that high of an idle.

 

Mine was 2500 rpm when it died. I do not know if it was wide open or not. The point is, the engine is getting more air than it should with the throttle closed. Check the butterfly, iac, and for big vacuume leaks.

 

That was my next thought, a warped butterfly could easily do this methinks

 

i'd start by checking for vaccuum leaks.

OK found out that the IAC was frozen. Sprayed with silicone around edges and let it sit for an hour and it loosend up. Saved 85 bucks. Still need one but for now Idle back to normal. For now.Thank you all for your help. Now to fix the Death wobble at 50 mph. New Track bar didnt help. Bushings look worn. Oh well back on the road.

 

NICE! such a nice feeling, solving a problem thats been giving you hell.

 

And without just throwing expensive parts at it, too.

 

exactly! My other car is a Saab.....complicated diag, PITA part replacement, and very expensive parts (anything is huge $) mean when something breaks, ill just part the sum***** out!
