Cool Hunting the High Idle.

Hey guys,

Like many, over time my GSL-SE fell prey to idle issues. I sorted them out initially through cleaning the TB, and my idle was fine.

However, after I had a new tranny in, it's always idled high 900-1100 but steady. I have cleaned BAC valve,tb, done tps adjustment, tried air adjust screw and have checked for leaks on all the hoses (just using a bit of carb cleaner).

There are a few hoses that aren't connected...I attached one in the pic. ALso there's a large hose coming off the intake manifold that goes nowhere...looks like a drain hose, but not sure it just kinda dangles there..:

Anyways...I'm a bit stumped..it feels like a vacuum leak or maybe a hose not connected but I can't track it down.

/F/

Well, normally, that broken connector at the end of that vacuum hose going to the cruise control would have two other vacuum hoses attached to it to make it a "T" connection. I'm guessing on your car though that the two vacuum hoses were tied together without the cruise control.

See the picture I attached. the hose going to the left goes to the cruise, the one to the right goes to a solenoid that sits just behind the washer fluid resorvoir, and the one that goes up goes to another "T" connector which connects to more vacuum hoses.

Ok unfortunately... I think I may have discovered perhaps a part of the issue.

The flange off of my 2nd cat wasn't connected so my 5th and 6th ports aren't opening. I have since replaced the exhaust (recently), and don't have an extra opening to connect this back to the actuators.

I've been reading that you can hook up a tube splitting of your air pump and keep 5th and 6th open, but haven't been able to find out any details.

Thanks,
