High Idle on 87tii
I have an 87 tii that has a high idle, it sits at about 2000 cold and 1500 - 1900 warm, it can sit at around 11/1200 but as soon as step on the gas and let it idle again it shoots back up. Just a couple days ago ive been having rough idles every so often hovering up and down from 14 - 1700 rpm. I wouldn't really care normally but i need to get my car air cared and they wont let me even test the car because the idle is to high.
some symptoms ive been have
- it takes at least 2 times to start the car cold
- just recently after i got my water pump replaced, white smoke has been coming out of my exhaust when i start it, after like 5 minutes or when i start to drive it goes away.
if it helps
- air pump is removed
- ac removed
- heater core bypassed ( when i got my water pump replaced)
- running rtek 1.7
- series 5 engine

Again, you're in BC, it's cold and the exhaust will vaporize any water that condensed in/on the exhaust. Sure it never did it before?

but anyways i took it into a mechanic for a quick look and it turns out my BAC valve was always open. he replaced the BAC vavle and the connector with a a little more adjustments he was able to get the idle back down to normal levels.
