1992 Oldsmobile Toronado 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 92 Olds Toronado Trofeo 3.6 VB with no turbo charge. My car has no trouble codes BUT WILL NOT IDLE. When I first start engine, I can hold petal to a steady 15,000 rpm for a long time. When I start 2nd time I can't hold to 15,000 rmp. It will roar to 40 and 60,000 rpm with a push of the gas pedal and it sounds like the exhaust is spitting. I have a factory shop manual for my car. And I followed all the procedures and diagnostics in the manual. Everything checks ok. Fuel pressure 40 PSI, noid lights show all injectors firing and all spark plugs fire. I removed & cleaned fuel injectors. Following the codes and procedures I have installed the following: crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, coolant temp sensor, IAC, fuel press regulator, fuel pump relay and fuel filter. After installing three of these items, a day at a time. The car started and idled great, even took it on test runs. But the next day I was back to square one. (Would not idle)! The three parts that seem to help were: 1. Crankshaft position, sensor 2. Fuel pump relay and 3. Coolant temp sensor.

Hi gailmarie, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Clean out the idle air control passages, EGR and PCV valves and also the MAF sensor with an electronic cleaner and test the TPS sensor. I'll be here
