I have had a low fluctuating idle for years. Sometimes it will idle normal, about 700-750, but a lot if not most of the time it will idle around 500, or even drop lower, 300-400. Every once in a while low enough that it will stall.
I have tried three different IAC valves. Including replacing it with a brand new one. I replaced the TPS with a brand new one. Switched out the MAF sensor. I can't find any vacuum leaks. No CELs. This has spanned two different sets of plugs and wires. The head and lower intake gaskets were replaced in the middle of this. None of it has changed the idle.
I'm pretty much out of ideas now. So far I can't find anything on here more than covering these things.
I need some new ideas.
