Rough Idle *TB sticking it seems* (Researched)

[savegoodautonfg]

When i hit the gas it will jump to about lets say 1500 rpms and then it drops down to like 1100 and then 5 seconds later to 700-800rpms.

WHats the deal with that?

i have taken off IAC recently and cleaned it throughly.

Is this while the car is stationary? Any vacuum leaks? A small leak can cause a hang like this.

Good luck.

Check TPS voltage as well.

Well, hissin the sticking has been going on before the hissing noise i told you about recently. so in that case, no vacuum leaks.

I guess I didnt understand your opening post. The only time I consider anything sticking with regard to throttle bodies is if the throttle blade actually physically sticks in the TB bore. Now are you referring to a hanging idle (or one slow to return to the base setting) as sticking? I think so.

A vac leak often has to be huge to hear any hissing - many of them are very quiet indeed.

The reason I asked the questions I did in my first post is that if it happens while rolling, it's by design. If not: If you disconnect the IAC and rev it up a little and let it return to idle, does it hang? Of course, dont drive with the IAC disconnected, as your car might stall.

I'd also note that much of the info in Jrichker's idle surge sticky can apply to your issue. Might be worth perusing the thread.

Good luck.

I 2nd the vacuum leak theory. Hook up a vacuum gauge to the motor while its running. A hunting needle between 14-18 hg usually indicates a vacuum leak.
