are you able to take a picture of what you're talking about?Originally Posted by magikmike
Soooo... I had an intermittent idle surge (around 2000) noticed once when I came out to my remote started VX...the other while I was "trying" to coast through stop and go traffic (around 1800) riding brakes the whole way! So after we launched a couple airplanes, we had some extra time, so I pulled the ol' VX in the hangar and began looking at ALL the things in this thread. Cleaned throttle body (dont ask why I started there), and while putting the intake tube back I noticed the air temp sensor. I don't know if was Isuzu or previous owner??? BUT, the 2 wires going to the plug were wrapped so tight they actually wore through each other's insulation. I tried to get as much into the spiral wrap as possible, (with little success). I really wanted to pull the sockets out of the plug and use shrink tubing, but they were very stubborn and I didn't have the patience, so I ended up using electrical tape. (If any of you have messed with this plug, or similar please PM me how to unlock the sockets inside the plug). Sorry off track... But I started it up and the engine was still a little cold soaked (it's been negative digits here for the past 2 days even during the day) but my idle was at about 1000. I then left work, and before I got a half mile down the road I approached a stop sign at about 800. It was like this my entire ride home, and switching to reverse to back into my driveway still around 800. I'll keep this post updated if it comes back, but I thought I'd add this as a possible fix (air temp sensor) to these symptoms.
