Problem(s):

First two problems interchange but first problem is more present:

1) Surging Idle ( 1500 rpms to shut off ):

When cruising at rpms higher then 1500, letting of the gas and pushing the clucth, the car’s idle will drop till it cuts off.

If cruising at the same rpm as above then slowing the car down to where it should it, then 50% of the time, it will stay there or it may surge till it cuts off.

If at idle the car will idle if cold but after a few minutes the car will start to surge till it cuts off.


Parts Tested To Find Problem:

Throttle Postion Sensor: Set to .97 Volts

Parts Tested But Not Sure If Bad:

Stock Mass Air Sensor: 12 Volts to + and - Wire, 12 volts to 3rd wire,
Signal Wire is the problem wire. It is suppose to stay at around the same idle at idle. It changes erratically at idle and when the throttle is pushed. Please give opinion.

Vaccum Lines:

All visible vaccum lines have been checked with cleaner to check for vaccum leaks. Advise if all lines should just be replaced.


Parts Replaced To Fix Problem:

Idle Air Control

2) Hanging Idle:

When starting the vehicle it will hang to around 2000 rpms then drop slowly to 1100 rpms.

As I push the throttle to gain speed then shift, it stays at that rpm for 2 to 3 seconds then drops to around 1100 rpms.

3) Whining/Whistle Noise:

Vehicle as a whining/whistle noise coming from the engine compartment at idle and cruise. Noise does increase as rpms increase. All gaskets and suppected hoses have been sprayed for leaks.

Vaccum Lines/Gaskets

Not the Problem:

Pulleys

My Note:

Please post on the thread or send me an email at stj_1993@yahoo.com. I need help with this problem really bad. This is my daily driver and I have no clue what else to do. I need you to list what you think I should replace, test, or do to find the answer to my problem(s). Thank you so much everyone.

To Febreezeit50:

Codes are good. Checked myself. Sorry I didn’t include that.

To 7991LXnSHO:

I will try my mechanic’s stethoscope but I do not think it’s an accessory. I do not own a MSD Coil and the TB is not BBK. Thank you for the heads up on those products though. I will check the checklist. The noise also just sings the same tune when cruising but lowers in tune when back to idle.

See if that makes you think of something else.

To ID89GT:

TB is almost 7 months old and it has been whistling for about a week or so.

Thanks though.

I just found out last night that the voltage meter was bad. Mass air checks fine. I just bought a mechanics scope from parts store. I will check it tomorrow. I also bought an upper intake gasket because I am going to replace vacuum lines and the upper intake needs to come off. So takes car of that. Will keep you updated.
