    Agreed, does sound like IACV. Try blocking it, and see if that solves the situation.

    Re: Idle Issue

    Can u eliminate the iacv all together or do I need it.I'll try and block it off and see if it gets better.Are all the b-series the same,iI think mine is off a 91.So do I use a piece of plastic to block it off.

    Re: Idle Issue

    No they are all different. You should get one from a b16. I just used a piece of cardboard to block it off. You can not eliminate it. The system has to have the IACV connected.

    Because it is the closest to the a-series that has been found. You LS may work, but it is uncharted territory.

    Re: Idle Issue

    The idle control system is described in detail on pp. 12-43 and following in the manual. Lots of troubleshooting info, etc. There is also a symptom chart on p. 12-40.
