REPLACED IDLE AIR YOU HAVE TO ADJUST ITS DIMENSION. MEASURE FROM THE TIP OF PINTLE TO THE MOUNTING FLANGE.YOUR DISTANCE HAS TO BE 1 1/8 INCH.IF NOT ADJUST PINTLE BY PRESSING IT 1 1/8 INCH. YOU NEED TO RESET IDLE BY CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY ON FOR TEN SECONDS THEN OFF FOR TEN SECONDS TO RESET THE VALVE.START THE ENGINE ALLOW IT TO IDLE FOR FIVE MINUTES TURN THE ENGINE OFF FOR THIRTY SECONDS THEN START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND CHECK THE IDLE OPERATION.

High idle

If you have the 5.0 liter engine or the 5.8 litre there was a problem with the upper intake manifold gasket being cracked and sucked into the intake causing a vacuum leak and the result was high idle. Also a leaking egr will sometimes cause high idle.

1998 chevy k1500 vortec 305, high idle, surges a lil bit, new plugs cap and rotor, coolant temp sensor, any suggestions, bad tps cause this, or intake leak confused help,love the truck,runs rich i can...

TPS probably not cause surging idle. Could be IAC motor, could be MAF sensor. If you dont have a check engine light I would be thinking IAC motor.

95 GMC Jimmy 4.3l W vin rough idle

My problem was solved when I repaired my 4 wd activation dash switch. The switch was contacting on 2WD & 4HI at the same time. The front differential activation is vacuum activated possibly creating a tug of war that didn't actually engage it but drained off vacuum from the engine? A theory at best but stumbbled across it because I knew the switch wasn't working properly I repaired it and low and behold rough idle disappeared and all is good for 3 weeks running.
