the car is idling at 2000 rpms as soon as I turn it on. I changed the pcv harness because it was cracked and it still didnt idle right so next I bought a new iac valve and it still is idleing high. What else could cause it to Idle high. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and the idle problem cured but as soon as I turned off the car and restarted it the problem reocurred.What else could cause this high idle btw it is a 1993 camaro 3.4. If you have any ideas on what it could be please tell me, any help is usefull.:)

Re: high idle
I have a 1993 Firebird with the 3.4L and it had the exact same problem. I purchased a used throttle body on ebay with OEM sensors and I swapped the ebay sensors with mine (IAC and TPS). That solved the problem and it has never happened again.
Do not try to swap them with non-OEM sensors, they are no good.

Re: high idle
yea first thing to check is all your vac lines for leaks like 95firebird3.4 mentioned. That would cause issues

Re: high idle
today I disconnected the battery to take it to get charged so it was disconected for more than 10minutes.When I got the battery back from charging and connected it, I turned on the car and the idle was back to normal, I then let the car heat up to normal operating temerature then I shut it off and when I turned it back on it was idling at 2000rpms again. So I am thinking it cant be a vacuum leak because if the problem stops when the battery is disconnected for a long time then that means it's a sensor or something. Could it be a bad egr?
