giveitgas Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Good afteroon, a few days ago I followed a tutorial found on this board on how to clean the throttle body. I took everything apart, cleaned it with carb cleaner and put everything back together. Now the car is idleing around 2100 rpms in park or neutral and 1100 rpms in drive. Can anyone please tell me whats going on. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 if you have high rpms, I would suspect some wrong with the throttle valve or a major vacuum leak. You need to go back again and start from zero and recheck all of your work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa72 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I agree. I would go back and look at all connections, including electrical, vacuum, and the actual throttle body to line connections. I can't imagine that something as routine and simple as a cleaning would cause problems. Have you run the car for any length of time to see if any excess carb/fuel injector cleaner has been burned off? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
