Change TP sensor and IAC valve. No help. Unplugged TP sensor and started engine. Still high idling. Could I have vacuum line issue? Does anyone have a diagram of vacuum line routing available?

Hi,

First, I attached the vacuum schematics below for your review. Take a look through them and let me know if they help. Also, note that the HVAC system uses an engine vacuum to control the mode doors and other air flow components. (Pic 3)

Here is a link that explains how to locate and repair an engine vacuum leak. You may find it helpful.

Also, I feel as though I have seen this vehicle before. Did you ask a similar question in the past? If this is the same vehicle, did you check the throttle cable by disconnecting it from the TB?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
