Re: flipping air cleaner lid

no it did not solve my idle problem and yes i left the air filter in and the air cleaner is flipped but makes a good seal so the air only goes through the air filter the pipe from the exhasut manifold to air cleaner is long gone but on the idle issue i am now leaning towards my coolant temp. sensor ...

flipping air cleaner lid

what do you all think about flipping the air cleaner lid on a 1992 astro with TBI?? cause i did and it feels like it woke the motor up and is faster and sounds great!! it don't even sound like a 4.3 liter v6 sounds like a v-8!!

Re: idle rough

update: i changed out my idle air control valve and it did not fix my low,rough idle problem when warmed up. it did fix my 3-4min high idle which was like 1500rpm for 3-4min. so i am thinking that it is my coolant temp. sensor for the computer or the o2 sensor.

Re: idle rough

i was just going to replace it cause when the van is warmed up i beleive the idle air control valve motor stops working cause when the van is fully warmed up i turn the a/c on and the idle drops and does not go up but the engine continus to runs okay.
