I replaced the governor diaphragm in my 2h in my hj47 1984 ute and now the engine is hunting at idle between 650 and 860 rpm, it doesn't matter if it is cold or warm. Engine doesn't hunt at hi

post VIN,
no country told so the manuals can not be found.
lacking VIN,
no year L cruiser told
the idlers are not part of timing, the name implies that.
there are no marks on any idler so that is a huge clue.
post the vin. (even put x's for last 5 numbers to keep serial private) and win.
only the correct manuals work.
are you DOWN under Posting to above the equator
we do not cover down under cars, no books up hear fore it.
HJ75 is LWB
the SUV/UTE is pre 1999 so says wiki
bit 2J wiki shows 1967-1990 made.
The 2H is a 4.0 L (3,980 cc) inline 6, 12 valve OHV indirect injection diesel engine.
ask here, this.
and the free manual is there too,logged in.

wow no year car stated nor a country x10 worse.
welcome to our USA forum!
the country with ZERO, carry cars. not a one. here
and due to that , no books here nor coverage at mitchells. either.
That is a G13 engine, (not m13) is my 1st guess.
Most Suzuki's with tiny engine and run a map sensors, not MAF
so is called SPeed Density system.

if yes, the that means ALL vacuum leaks cause fast idle.,
armed with that juicy fact, we know why it races.
you never said and actual RPM so no Tachometer?
only 2 causes. a huge vacuum leak
or unlikely the ISC stuck wide open with gunk inside, (clean it?)
ISC is idle speed control.
old suzuki's had man killler ISC software, my 91 did it.
and all others like it........
it would hunt idle like mad with any vacuum leak.(of any kind)
today this is very *******, this mode. (hunt)
toyata cost them $1billion in fines for this same deal.

but Clutch drivers have no problems with idle hunt, "skills"
what year/country.?
please showa photo of engine. ?
and win. a win/win
you win and I win not guessing all that.

fact 2 , is that that hunt tells me the ISC is moving fast.
so is not stuck. (99% says R3PO)
unplug ISC see the hunt end? sure.
the ECU has lost its wits. from..... this....
it sees a massive air leak (vacuum map readings ) and then (dumbblly ) hunts it like mad, (bad Firmware code) but real.
i can demo this is seconds hood up.
causes?
1: vacuum hose fell off.
2: same hose cracked.
3: brake booster diaphragm cracked, sucking air big time)
4: lots more,. even gunk under throttle plate blocking it open.
and more. lots more. can cause lots of vacuum leaks.

governors always stop in the full throttle position
when the engine starts the governor action is to move to the idle position against spring tension
the higher tension the higher the rpms
moving the throttle lever increases the spring tension on the governor lever an so the rpms increase
from what you say there is something wrong with the governor/ spring set up
from your photo the system may be reversed and the spring pulls to idle in which case the throttle will decrease the spring tension for higher rpm
which ever way check where the spring is located

at what RPM?,sure the 2wd has no tachometer,

Sidekick, with what engine? sure 5speed and 2wd,
but what engine.?
in 1995 they (last year this) 2 engines
the 8v and 16valve,
both, night and day different, EFI.
TBI and MPI injected, 8v is black top, 16v says 16 valves on top.
but both engines, will fail ISC controls like that if there are problems.(idle speed controls)
the surging (hunting) is one of 2 things.

1. (too lean, or air leaks)
2. or ISC lost control)
   

the ECU on the car will in fact hunt the ISC if it can not attain
800 RPM hot IDLE, that is its JOB, to do that, endlessly.
in fact 200 times a second.!
but is not working. (this control, its out of control for sure)
to find this can be easy or hard.? (luck and true causes)
depends on true cause.
I cant do both engines here, be like 10 pages.
The 8v engine races with all air leaks. and hunts. (races)
the 16v goes lean with all air leaks, (air density system is unique)
and goes slower, RPM and may hunt. no RPM stated so cant wax smarter...sorry.

so its a dirty ISC? cant close fully, ? clean it? first.
the 8v has air leaks. caused by vast reasons.
cracked hoses. leaking diaphragms, even the brake booster can leak. lots of leakage patch possible
or some one fiddled the idle air bleed screw making it fail.
try closing that valve (screw) turn it CW directly clock wise.

this page covers both systems.

this ISC cleans just like the EGR that leaks.
egr leaking cause, low RPm and it too, can make the ISC go nuts.
so, but no RPM stated. so.....
eg: hunting from 1000 to 1500RPM
or hunting from 500 to 700 rpm?

i pinch all hoses first.
if RPM drops the hose is cracked or the other end is leaking air.
every 50k miles?

http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/cleaning-egr-isc/double-trouble1w.JPG

does RPM go below 800 RPM HOT engine?
yes ./no
this a is key factor.

hunting or surging ilde. name the 2 RPMS, low and high , is it hot or cold engine this issue.? 400rpm or 1000 or 2000 all are diff.causes.
no year, stated. so cant help.
but ill answer in the generic,
1: the ECU (got a carb,? )
the ecu controls idle speed at all times.
if not , there is a problem (you)
A: air leaks in the induction will make motor race at some point the ECU/ISC loses control. and hunts. trying hard to correct it.
b: egr stuck open idle too low, iSC cant correct it,, bad EGR.
c: engine EFI running way too leak starving for fuel so it hunts for 2 reasons < ISC hunting, and lean does that.
lean is gross power loss and opening throttle bogs the engine.
so is double bad. ISC makes it worse,

all this breaks down to 2 reasons.
1: ISC bad. in some way (gummed up. or restricted inside)
2: bad fueling or air leaks. vacuum leaks.

try answers , the hot cold question and the 2 speeds, of the hunt.
lowest rpm and highest of the hunted range of RPM.

Really sounds like a vacuum leak. Lean code could still be accurate. Screaming idle usually means air is getting into engine. Ruptured EGR diaphragm would vent air. Brake booster could vent air. A lot of air will show lean mix.

You may have to use different methods to test vacuum. Some use vacuum gauge to test egr and lines which dead end into solenoids. Other tests use water spray or propane gas to draw in and change rpm. You are at a disadvantage if engine does not run.

Crankshaft sensor helps set fuel volume for given rpm. Might not be counting all the rpm's, but would not account for fast idle.

On the right side of your intake manifold,you will see a round mushroom looking thing with a vacuum hose running to it. You can check it by reaching under it and feel for a fairly large hole. inside the hole, there is a metal diaphragm . While the engine is idling, push up on the diaphragm and the engine should run very rough. If it doesn't, replace the EGR valve. Thats what it's called. Very easy to replace. two bolts. good luck

First ensure that the throttle interior is really clean, a surface layer of grime can upset the ECU's ability to meter and govern the air entering the engine. If the throttle body interior is found to be really oily and dirty check on the idle air control valve and make sure that it too is cleaned up. Next put the ignition switch in position 2 (on, but no start) and depress the accelerator fully and release. If there is an issue with the throttle position sensor this procedure can help the ECU relocate the throttle plate position. Start the engine and if it is still hunting locate the air mass meter (AMM) on the air ducting immediately next to the air filter and disconnect the electrical connection. Does this remove the hunting aspect?... the rev speed might change but for the moment concentrate on the evenness of the tick-over. If the idle is even when the AMM is disconnected but hunts when connected then look at replacing your AMM. Try spraying the AMM with no residue electrical cleaning spray to see if this improves matters.

Hi.it sound a lot like a ignition coil coils tend to do that if its got a crack it Swell when the temperature rises

TAKE THE AIR CLEANER OFF THE INLET MANIFOLD LOOK DOWN THE THROAT AND SEE WHERE THE BUTTERFLY IS SITTING YOU WILL SEE WHERE YOU ADJUST THE IDLE,YOU ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED BY BY TURNING THE STOP PLATE ADJUSTING SCREW TO INCREASE RPM SCREW IN TO DECREASE RPM SCREW OUT__ NOW !!!BE SURE TO ....LOCK THE ADJUSTING SCREW WITH THE LOCKNUT I THINK THAT IS WHERE YOU TROUBLE WILL BE ...
