Also, if I grab the TB linkage and give it a little torque toward the closed position, the idle goes down. I'm not sure if the AC issue is fixed when doing that though.

The throttle body is definitely clean. I cleaned it a few months ago and wiped it again when I did the IACV the other day. It seems like a vacuum leak to me as well, but there's no reaction to carb cleaner. I've sprayed everywhere from the intake hoses all the way to the intake manifold gasket...

I've searched for vacuum leaks like crazy. I'll try the MAF again. I metered it and the reading was higher than what I've read it should be. I'll try that out after work today. The TPS sensor reading was a little high when I tested it as well. Could a bad/dirty MAF sensor influence the TPS reading?

Hey guys, Sorry to keep reviving this thread. I got the manifold issue taken care of. I bit more muscle when setting the studs and some lock washers seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the advice hornsfan. High idle is still present. I unplugged my IACV and it dropped to 700 with no issues. I...

The high idle seems to be fixed. Must have been that vacuum leak. New issue: The exhaust manifold flange/turbo flange connection came loose and started leaking. The studs rattled themselves loose from the new manifold. I used red Loctite and let it set before tightening the nuts on. I pulled...

I sprayed some brake cleaner around the throttle body and intake manifold. Nothing. I noticed that the bracket holding a solenoid on the pipe to the throttle body was looking a bit strange. It started to peel (not really the right word) off and there was a little leak there. I hit it with some...

Okay, cool. I'll see if the brake cleaner produces any results and report back. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. I pulled the intake pipe off of the throttle body to make sure that it was returning to it's zero position before messing with the throttle cable. It is, so that's not the problem. I'll give the brake parts cleaner method a try. The only codes it had were p0031 (O2...

I pulled the white retainer clip on the cable, but can't get the black adjuster to budge with my fingers. Should it require tools? It doesnt seem terribly sturdy and I dont want to force it.

I didn't make any changes when I cleaned the throttle body. How do I adjust it? Thanks for the reply!

Hi guys, I have a 2003 MSP with about 170k miles. About 3 months ago I was having an issue with the car idling low, about 400-600 rpm. I cleaned the egr valve, throttle body, IACV, and MAF. The idle got smoother and stayed around 600 rpm. A few months after, I drove about 60 miles on the...

SLS Performance hot pipe. Just the pipe, no fittings or clamps. It was purchased a few years ago from streeunit, but hasn't been on the car for a year or so. A little scuffed in places but no damage beyond light cosmetics. $90 shipped to US. Willing to ship to Canada for an adjusted shipping...

Thanks!

Hi guys, I've been wading through the for sale threads but the exhaust manifolds have been sold in most of them. My exhaust manifold is cracked and I need a replacement. I'm open to stock and aftermarket options, but am a college student and can't afford the price of most brand new ones...
