Bad throttle position sensor.

    CiCiYuk Nov 24, 2013

    Thank you, I'll look into that. I originally had the IAC changed a year ago due to idle rpm increasing. After awhile it started doing the opposite and dropping and in the last few months started stalling when putting into park. Is there a way to check the throttle sensor or just a replacement and where is it located please?

SOURCE: 1989 GMC 2500 5.7L - engine surges and stalls at idle. Loses power at cruising speed.

Wow you have replaced a lot of stuff. Lets go back to the Fuel pump. When you replaced it did you replace the hose between the pump and the sending unit. These are common for splitting. Have you hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to check what pressure you have? It should be real close to 13 psi and should raise to at least 18 or 19 when you pinch off the return line.

There is a large vac line coming straight down from the throttle body that goes to the PCV system. See if it has a hole in it. It is likely sucking air.

Honda crx with auto transmission idles roughly in drive or reverse. AC on makes it worse.

There are two coolant lines that connect to this Honda IAC to help quiet the operation of the valve. The part number for a OBDI 1992-1995 Honda Civic Idle Air Controller is 36450-P28-A01. While the OBDII version of this valve is 36450-P2J-J01, and the two units are very similar in design and execution. The EACV or Electronic Air Control Valve is a big part of maintaining your Honda Civic idle. If you've checked your IAC and your Honda still suffers from a surging idle, check your FITV. This Honda Idle Air Controller or IAC is under the throttle body and incorporates into the throttle body passages o locate your Fast Idle Thermo Valve, remove the intake snorkel and locate the FITV beneath your throttle body opening. If your SOHC engine is still having problems, check our guides above on how to check your FITV as well as your IAC. To check this operation, remove your air intake pipe and use your fingers to plug the passages in the lower left hand corner of your throttle body opening. If your idle surge does not go away, unplug your Idle Air Control valve and if that stops your idle surge, your IACV must be replaced. Follow our instructions on how to replace your Honda Civic Idle Air Control Valve. Need to raise your Honda Civic idle or having problems maintaining idle? You can adjust the base idle by unscrewing or screwing in the Idle screw on your throttle body. This screw allows air to bleed into the passages on the backside of your throttle body, as shown above. To learn how to adjust Honda Civic idle speed, you will not need to remove anything. With a standard screwdriver, simply locate your throttle body and Idle screw.

How do I adjust the throttle body on a 2007 toyota corolla?

Unfortunately many car manufacturers don't like it when people do it themselves, so they have a little b**by-trap they like to spring on you. If you replace the TPS, IAC, etc, the idle will many times no go back to normal and you will need to have the computer "relearn" so it can rest it back to normal! No real reason for them to design it this way, except of course to force you to go to the dealer to get it fixed! Nice little surprise they like to give their customers!

Code 23 engine idles but surges when in gear

Replace the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
Depending on your size Engine (2.4L, 3.0L or 3.3L) It should be located where the Air Filter is. When you take the cover off, it wil be mounted into the cover. It has the only wires going to the cover.
This sends information to the Computer which adjust the air/fuel mixture - causing surges.
The 2nd recommednation: to remove, clean and check is the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve and replace if necessary.

Let me know if this helped....

Olds alero 2.4 idle fuel pressure

most likely idle air control sensor or low engine coolant I know sounds funny but IAC uses coolant to regulate idle. Idle air control valve or throttle body positioning sensor.
