Have you checked for codes?

Just because you cleaned the Idle Air Control Valve (IAC), doesn't mean that it isn't faulty and needs replaced. You may also have a vacuum leak somewhere. But to save yourself ALOT of trouble, check for codes first.

Throttle positioning sensor or idle control sensor, both located on the throttle body, check all vacum lines

try unplugging the iac. if idle doesnt change then its bad and you need to replace the iac

RAZ282

when i unplug the iac it dies

myford

k that means thats working. could also try throttle position sensor like said above or u have a vacumn leak somewhere

RAZ282

thank you i will check for vacum leak .i am going to check the upper intake gasket and replace it

If it's constant & not surging, check your throttle cable for binding or hanging. Make sure it's getting full travel. Do the butterflies close completely?

i took both lines off going to breather started the truck and put my hands over tb and it idles just maybe 200 rpm lower i guess major vacume leak ? maybe upper intake gasket?
