Re: 1989 Silverado Idleing Problem

I have replaced the TCS, IAC & the TPS. Nothing has helped. I have cleaned the throttle body plates & shaft & checked for vacuum leaks everywhere I can think of including the intake. Right now I have the TPS & the TCS unplugged & it idles great just a little hard to start. I haven't driven it to see if the lower idleing has affected the trans shifting as I want it right & all the sensors plugged up before I drive it again. It is not throwing any codes with everything plugged up. I traded for this truck about a month ago & it was idleing a little fast but nothing like it is now. I'm stumped on the trans shifting also. I have a '96 Suburban & it runs, shifts etc..... great with 279,000 on it. If ya'll could give me some suggestions it would be soo appreciated. Thank you.

I am racking my brain...... it seems to me, I had the similar idle problem years ago...... I am trying to remember what the fix was.....(TBI gasket?) (Timing?)


(You wrote): "...the trans shifts too late & jerks from 1st to 2nd & it won't adjust with the cable...."
The Transmission -Throttle Valve Cable MUST be adjusted correctly...... (a 1/8th inch is a big difference)..... have a tranny guy that knows how, to adjust it, do it.
