ok, sit back because I am going to tell you a story and hopefully someone can help me, please.
My idle has gone madd on my 01job1. It wanted to idle at 1500 in park and when I went from drive to park it would shoot up to 3000 before droping to 1800-2200 and sit there a minute or two. Anyway, it was throwing p1506. First I cleaned the IAC, no good so I replaced it. still no better. Discovered a leaking cooling system, get this, the lower part of the thermostat housing had been broken by the previous owner, I guess, anyway, someone fixed this by putting a metal threaded part on the lower thermostate hose forced it in the broken housing and sealed it with silicone. Guess it worked for a while, however, I got the fun job of removing everything in the world to replace the houseing, new housing, 150.00. Anyway, found a leak in a vacume hose and fixed that. While I had everything off, I cleaned my throttle body, replaced the upper seals in the intake and did the seafoam intake cleaning. Now, my idle is still at 1100 in park and when sitting in drive. It seems to be a little bit better but is still throwing the code P1506, over idle.
Any suggestions? Help me please. This idle is also causing my timing chain rattle to be awful, or can something be wrong with the timing chain rattle causing the idle issue.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
