Is that your idle screw? If that's loose then tighten it up and it'll drop your idle.
it almost feels broken
like you turn it and it just turns
nothing else
and its wobbly
there is a scerw in there, tightent it to lower the idle thats what i did when my 3g had a high idle

That's the FITV. Just a band-aid but if all you need to do is keep it down for the test it could work.
ya the high ideal dosent bother me any
just as long as its low when i take it in
anyone else got any suggestions
usually if your idles high due to either a vacuum leak or idle screw/fast idle valve adjustment it will do that gay rev bouncing thing. which leads me to think the throttle stop screw may be holding the TB open or ur cables too tight etc
either that or it is a vacuum leak and ur TPS is fucked
it does that but not all the time just very occasional
theres a oring that seals the idle screw.
I have a few laying around here if you need them.
i thikn that screw is snapped i have to take the red line off to see if it falls out
of so im gona need a extraction tool
oh and the filter box you gave me apparently the 87 -89 had dif bolt holes lol they dont line up
but the dude at the smog place did not care
I also have a spare throttle body if needed..

can this be done with the car on or does it need to be off and how much tightening are we talking about 1/4 turnthere is a scerw in there, tightent it to lower the idle thats what i did when my 3g had a high idle
