87 chevy 2.0 in a caviler will not idle . runs wide open with out touching acc.pedal . replaced idle air solenoid and position sensor.

Intake manifold air leak. Could be a crakced or missing hose to the brake booster. Any way air can get past the throttle plate will speed up the engine.

91 chevy cav z24 5 spd will not start @ times sounds like no fire other times sounds like no fuel.Replaced fuel pump,timing chain, crankshaft sensor,oil sensor,map sensor,body throttle accel sensor.st

Pull the air cleaner off and crank the engine. If puffs of air come come out of the throttle body when cranking the engine then the timing is not set correctly. Otherwise, after cranking pull a spark plug and see if it is wet with fuel and if so this indicates an ignition problem (coil, distributor/cap/rotor or faulty ECU).

1998 dodge dakota 3.9 runs great for about 10 min. than starts to miss and backfire no check engine light

you may have a plugged fuel filter as you don`t say if you have changed it. also have your fuel pressure tested with a gage, it should run about 36 lbs pressure if its multi-point fuel injection or run at about 15/18 lbs pressure if its a throttle body.

I have a 95 Taurus sho that was not running right when I bought it. Since I have replaced crank and cam sensors, o2 sensors, knock sensor, wiring harness checked fuel pressure, checked compression,...

You did not mention the throttle body or the idle air control valve.
The computer controls idle speed by how much air is allowed to enter the intake manifold thru the throttle body.
If the idle air control valve is faulty, or there is a vac leak, or the throttle body is dirty, the computer can not keep the idle speed at the factory setting.

Vaccum hose diagram for 88 chevy truck. I put a 350 motor in my 88 chevy 1500 truck from a 95 suburban. I cant get the throttle body to stop idaling to high. I may need a vaccum line diagram for this motor...

it may not be a vacumn leak from a line,check the throttle shaft for movement,for example,i had a 89 1 ton 350 and my throttle shaft was moving around a lot and in order to keep it from idling high,i had to kick the throttle pedal.But also check the idle air control valve,which is the round sensor on the side of the throttle body.

1993 toyota 4x4 idle problem

sounds like your throttle positioning sensor is not set right so i would undo the two phillips heads that hold it and turn it till the idle doesnt fluctuate should be turned most of the way to the front of the truck. Also check your idle screw that throttle body could be set different.
