Never have I been happier for the corner hardware store than I was today.
I've been having trouble with a creepy/climbing idle since I replaced the AIC valve, and been getting very frustrated. I've flushed and cleaned the AIC valve with carb cleaner and WD-40, the throttle plate, throttle sensor, dashpot, and any number of other thing sI thought it could have been.
After adjusting the idle manualy every time I run the car, it finally dawned on me...I'm a freakin genius.
The screw that controls the base idle on the throttle was missing the two nuts that lock it in place. Every time I drive Ulla, the screw works it's way in from the vibrations of the car.
Trip to the hardware stor and 33 cents later, I have a new bolt and 2 nuts holding it in place, and she's been idling jsut fine since.
