Hey guys, car is having some issues....let me know what you think could be the culprit.

The car idles high, around 1000-1100 usually. When I push in the clutch to downshift, the revs sometimes jump up to the 2500ish range, then slowly come back down to around 1000. I noticed the other day in traffic, i was in 1st gear, foot on neither clutch gas (speed was ~10-15mph) and the car was accelerating ever so slightly up a hill.

I thought it might ahve been the IAC, or maybe the IAT, ar maybe a throttle cable getting stuck somehow....any thought?

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post.

 

Check the TB maybe something is making it stick? and the cables while ur there. Not sure but could the TPS cause that?

 

Not sure, but i will be sure to check on monday (not at home this weekend)

any other ideas?

 

I had the same problem and changing my TPS solved it. check your TPS by taking it off and using a wide flat tip horizontally and turning it 90 degrees counter clockwise. If the screw driverblade is wide enough but doesn't catch the teeth in the TPS you need a new one, or if it is hard to turn or when you let go it doesn't snap back to it's original position it is worn and you need a new one. Mine cost about $30 after tax at Checker. Though this isn't to say something else may not be wrong.

 

Did you clean your TB recently? After I cleaned mine, my rpms would hang. Dab some oil on the butterfly rod where the rod enters the housing.
