22re thermostatic idle air control
Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle here... my 89 toy 22re had a constant high idle and consistantly would surge, I have pinpointed the problem to being the thermostatic (cold-start) idle air control ( I had posted a thread related to this before ). If I place duct tape over the port for the idle air control, the problem is fixed. Thing is, I don't want duct tape flowing into my plenum... Any chance anyone out there has bypassed this in any way? I hear it's big bucks from the dealer, and nobody around has a throttle body or the air control for that year used. I was thinkning of jb-welding the port sealed, but I'd rather make a temorary plug, so if I find one in the future I can replace that valve. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Also, if anyone has experience with bypassing this, let me know how it worked, I imagine if I plug it, it's gonna be hard to start come winter time (I live in RI). Thanks again, Jeff
