Wont idle while in drive park or neutral after it warms up
Have. 90 2 dr and getting very frustrated with it . I've had this issue for awhile now and it stopped for a couple of days and then did it again . Ive replaced the tsp sensor cleaned iac sensor haven't replaced CPs sensor yet but if I stop and put it in park and keep on the gas around 1100 to 1400 rpm it sometimes decides to go back down and idle normal . I've gone over the vacuum lines and can't find anything . I've done the starting fluid or brake cleaner trick and found nothing maybe need to test the lines some way for pressure I'm so confused on why it won't idle in park neutral and drive or reverse after it warms up any help would be appreciated

Got a multi-meter?
Did you adjust that TPS?
Test the sensor ground circuit?
Ever refresh your grounds?

At a bare minimum, you need to do #1, 3, 5 and 8.
And you MUST invest $10 in a multimeter. We'll walk you through all of this. It's very easy and you'll learn alot.
