Here's the symptom, I own a 95 chevy P/U(350, 5.7L) and it idles high periodically. The funny thing is that it only does it when the A/C is running. Example, when its sitting still for a while w/AC running it idles high when taking off or accelerating into motion. It idles so high that i have to back off the accelerator to let it shift out of gear then accelerate again. I noticed this last summer only thing is that the first time i noticed it, i saw a sign of power steering fluid coming up out of the cap. I don't know if this means that i have a bad power steering pump or not. I bought this truck a little over two years ago and the transmission had been rebuilt so i doubt that i have a trans problem.

Is the high idle only when the A/C is on? Usually a high idle is a vacuum leak.
If this only happenes with the A/C on, then it could be a bad IAC which controlls idle speed bases on commands from the ECM.

Yes, it does it mostly when the A/C is running and every blue moon when it isn't running. Sometimes when i'm at a light or something, if i put it in neutral and rev the engine a couple of times, it stops for a while and starts back. Where is the IAC located?

Passenger side of the TBI. Probably around an inch in diameter and screws into the TBI.

Okay, I'll try that. I'm kind of busy these days so it may be a while before i respond i.e. moving into a new home.
