This vehicle starts up and runs great for three minutes, then the rpm's hunt 800-1100 rpm's then goes up to 1500 to 1800 rpm's. I have cleaned the Idle control valve with no help. I can apply a nine volt battery to it and the rpm's drop down and car runs good. I have no change in the rpm's if the ICV is unplugged. I unplugged the TPS with no change. However, I was picking up 11.3 volts on the two outside connectors. I have changed out the engine control module thinking that was it with no luck. I Just opened the wiring harness running along the engine and found no cracked or damaged insulation. I also checked for vacuum leaks by spraying carburetor cleaner and break cleaner and cannot find any leaks, vacuum is steady on my test gauge at 24hg. I have read several threads and trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. I hope to have the wiring harness and components reinstalled this evening.
I also replaced the over voltage relay, alternator and battery. We bought this car and have not put two hundred miles on it, We first noticed high idle and the throttle block was sticking. I have cleaned the throttle block and replaced the connecting boot. The throttle no longer sticks but still have the high idle. Even when the linkage is disconnected.
I just did a continuity test of the wires from the TPS connection and the main plug at the end of the harness and I am picking up continuity on several stabs, I am getting this on both of the outside wires at the TPS. I cannot get into the back of the plug as it is tight. Not sure if there is a circuit board or individual stabs. Thinking that it has shorts but the wiring harness it self looks okay. Please help and follow my threads.
