just this morning my car's idle started to go up and down, it normally idles at 7k but today it would go up to 1100 and then go down to about 2-3k, what is weird is that it drives fine but when i start slowing down the car seems like its going to turn off. anyone have any idea what it could be? or has anyone had this type of problem? by the way my car is a 95 5 spd

 

Why dont you pull the code form your ECU and find out what that CEL is for.

 

how much should i expect to pay for the diagnostic

 

It's free if you have a flathead screwdriver.........------->read the farkin stickys...

 

Well, you can go to the following link and do it yourself and pay nothing;

Or if your really lazy just go to autozone, that also will cost you nothing.

 

holy crap your car idles at 7k???????



TPS is the problem, had the same problem with my lightning, I just cleaned it out and the idle was stable.

 

^^^

hah no he probably meant 700

 

Ya think

 

Go to Autozone and they can check your codes for FREE! If it's code P1705 it's definately your TPS, get it replaced ASAP. I delayed mine so much the tranny started to slip!

 

the code that it has is for the IACV-AAC valve.
does anyone know were i can get this thing for a good price?

 

is the idle speed control the one that has four sensors going into it or is it just one of those four
pics anyone?

 

You can probably find one on the Classifieds section.

 

Here man, found one for $40.
