The Idle Is Jumping Around

Recommended Posts

I have a 850R with 84K miles and when I am at a stop the idle will rev up to about 2200 then back down and up and down on occasion. I just recently (650 miles ago) put msd ignition and ipd wires with new cap, rotor, spark plugs. does anyone have an idea of what this could be?

all vac lines are tip top, someone told me it may be the idle controll motor or the vac line off of that... im not sure if the 850's have a icm or where it would be located could this be a possibility?

It would be a good thing to do to check your IAC valve (idle air control), it is between the throttle body hose and vacuum tree w/ a hose ~3/4 in. diamater entering and exiting. You want to be able to hear the pump inside jingle when GENTLY shaken. If you cannot grab some TB cleaner, let it soak in the IAC for a little bit, get what you can out w/ a Q Tip or by some other gentle means and reinstall.

You can also clean the electrical contacts w/ electrical cleaner if you wish.
