M1A1TankerTom Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 sooooo....the last few weeks my truck has been idling high as hell. I'm talking so high it sounds like I'm starting a jet when I fire it up and when I drove the thing it would just cruise at about 45 mph without my foot on the gas. So I jumped on good old comancheclub and used the search function and found out that I it could be the IAC or the TPS. So today I had some time so I drive to Napa Auto Parts and spent over 100 bucks on a new IAC and TPS and hoped this would fix my problem. When I get home I pop the hood and remember reading on here that a couple guys said to check your exhaust manifold bolts because if they are loose it can cause a high idle problem. So right before I throw the new parts on I figure what the hell and check the bolts...I could turn all of them by hand! So I crank them down and fire it up and my truck runs like a dream now! Idles perfect and runs great! Lesson learned....check the easy crap first, and check it before you drop 100 bones on parts you don't need. Good thing I called Napa and they said I can turn the parts back in and get my money back. Thanks for the help guys....the search function is my friend :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 M1A1TankerTom, Did you ever install the HO header on your RENIX? Any details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythreesons Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Let's see......... It used to be that you loosened a screw and rotated the distributor to retard or advance, right? So what you are saying is that you have a screw loose? Welcome to the club! Grey hair and forgetting are next. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TankerTom Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 no I never did the HO header, I ended up just throwing a new stock replacement manifold on. I found a new stocker on ebay for only 70 bucks or so and figured it was the easiest route. I figured the extra money and extra work it would take to get the HO header to work was probably not worth the minimal HP gain I would recieve.
