I was having high idle issue the day before my timing chain wore through and dumped the water into the oil pan. Fix all of that, and the bolt broken off in the intake, jesssss. New timing chain, gears, thermo, all that stuff, was expecting that to have fixed the high idle. In short it did not. I thus repositioned the tps, waste of time, adjusted timing, no luck. Finally noticed that the screw on the throttle body that is "supposed" to be in cotact with the idle control valve was not. It just touched it but only when the little plunger was fully extended (Note it was NOT the throttle stop screw). I believe that what I am calling the IDCV is what other more knowledgeable folks on here are calling the "dashpot", someone correct me if I am wrong. So, I turned the idle control screw on top of the throttle body to center, now idling at about 2500, adjusted the screw to make "deeper" contact with the little plunger thingy, adjusted the idle screw on top of the throttle body to bring the idle down to 750. It has ran and idled slicker than snot on a doorknob ever since.
