Another idle issue thread. My '96 with OHV is having some idle related issues.
Idle in gear or park hangs around 900 all the time. But under load, such as braking or sharp turns at low speed the idle will drop to the 500 range.
Several things have been done so far as follows:
Upper intake gaskets replaced as well as cleaning throttle body. Had a CEL for lean condition.
No CEL is present, but shop did observe the MAF was reading a little low, so cleaned it.
Cleaned IAC valve. The one on it is about 8 months old but did have carbon build-up.
Negative battery was loose at battery, so I have tightened it.
Camshaft position sensor replaced about 3 months ago.
Could the IAC be bad already?? I pulled it off and had wife turn key to on poisition. It did move inside, though seemed to be a little delay. Also made a "popping" sound.
Still no CEL present.
Thanks for any ideas.
