idle stablizer?
 

ok, fired her up for the first time this spring.

she does run, but the idle will hunt really badly. like it surges up to about 1800-1900, and then it almost dies, but catches itself at about 900, and then surges again.

idle stabilizer shot? i don't think i have any vacuum leaks, ive looked everywhere except under the intake manifold.

unplug the idle valve and see if it stops...

nope, figured it out.

the line from the intake manifold to the idle stablizer ... the plug bit pulled out of the intake. threw some locktight on there, press fit it back in, and she runs awesome now!

new problem ... while remounting the speed and reference sensor bracket to the intake manifold, i cracked the plug on the sensor side. i pulled all the broken plug out of the harness side, and shoved the three leads into it, and it works. but obviously not a long term solution. have to come up with a better attachment method, or change out the sensor.

what happens if it stops when unplugged. Im experiencing the same issue

replace the ISV

read the thread guys, got it running ...

I know. I was replying to campbelljj's question.

Replace the connector...

It's spring time in MN?

I had a broken connector (both sides) of one of the ref sensors. I bought a new female connector on ebay and soldered it into the cable. Replaced the ref sensor with new one. All works fine now.

Gordon, I may still have a couple sensors sitting around you can have. I'll have to look in my garage and see if they're still there, but I don't think I tossed them.

Edit: looks like I must have sent them along with the harness a while ago. Sorry for the false alarm.

no, my spyder spun a rod bearing and is getting a 2zz ... i need something to run around in in the mean time.

haters gonna hate, cars are made for driving. ;)

thanks harold, but i ordered up a replacement plug, and just electrical tapping them together has me running right now.
