Ol Fat Nuts

Hello, I was cleaning my throttle body and probably sprayed more than I should have, when I went to start the car it was flooded. After sitting for a few hours it started right up and has idled at around 1400-1500 rpm ever since. please help.

have u tried to clean or replace the spark plugs?

You mention Throttle Body (TBI), is this a GSL-SE model, or a carb'ed 12a model?

That will set the course for how complicated the troubleshooting steps may be for you to get the idle to drop back down to 800-900 where they belong.

Reply back and we'll see where to go. Welcome to the boards, by the way,

I believe a while back you helped me out posting a page or a previous write up on how to adjust the idle on a GSL-SE. I believe its something like 12-13 pages long. Can you please post the article again??? Thanks

Good luck, and reply back with any questions - 1200-1400rpm steady idle should be easy to fix with just some minor air adjustments and cleaning. HTH,

Maybe your throttle plates are not closing all the way. I have a very similar problem, though not sure what caused it. I think I'm gonna take the throttle body apart, clean the plates and lube the butterflies real good.
