Re: 1994 C1500 350 Idle adjustment? Help???

High idle can be caused by a number of things:

1. Coolant temp sensor (wiring, connection, the sensor is bad). Check your connection on the CTS wiring.
2. IAC valve. If the IAC is operating incorrectly, or not at all, it will cause high idle, no idle, etc. Check the connection to the IAC, make sure you plugged it back it correctly and all the way in.
3. The throttle cable you adjusted. Screw it in until there is slack in the cable, and make sure the arm is against the stop. Adjust the cable until there is very little slack, and the arm does not move forward while you are adjusting it. You can also disconnect the cable for the time being to see if that fixes the idle. If it does, that's your issue. If it doesn't, it's something else.
4. Vacuum leak. This could be any number of things - throttle body gasket, vacuum line from EGR, vapor recovery switch, PCV valve, heater bypass (if equipped). Check all the vacuum lines to make sure you put them back where they should be. If you need pics, just ask and I can get you some.
