98 s10 idling trouble

[jeremyshaneyates]

Hi, I have a 1998 s10 w/ a 4.3Lv6 and 220,000 miles. having a problem w/ it not wanting 2 idle correctly.. While driving or shifting from P to D or R it wants 2 idle up a though u r mashing the accel. When coming 2 a stop @ a light or stop sign u feel as if u r still accelerating. However, if u put it in (N) it will evenually idle dn. With the high miles, I have replace O2 sensors, map sensor, throttle position sensor, and idle air control motor. Have not got and codes... Can u give me any advice?


Thanks Shane

Any codes or check engine lights?
First step is clean carbor from TBI buttery fly and IAC valve.
Let us know what that does.

Likely a vacuum leak. Does it lope idle at all when fully warmed up, sitting STILL at a stoplight?

This almost sounds normal - it will idle a little higher until you have completely stopped.

Could be carbon build-up BEHIND throttle body butterfly, like MT said.

Check your EGR valve, make sure your diaphram isn't closed (pushed upwards)

I had the same exact crap on my 1992 S-10. I replaced the IAC and it helped on initial startup. But the EGR valve will cause chaos to a great running engine if the diaphram part is closed. All you have to do is locate where it is and use a little flat head screwdriver and pop open the diaphram.

If that doesn't work, let me know.

Not going to work on a 98.

92 is a long way from a 98.

They have different EGR valves.
98 is electronic valve with no diaphragm.
