Ok ok i been on this problem for a while now i just finally took the time to figure it out. Heres the problem: Start it up hot or cold or normal w/e my truck idles at 1800 to 2000. Then lowers to about 1600 slowly. Also it bogs every 45 seconds like goes down and goes back up. So This is what i did. I checked my c02 censor it was good i even cleaned it. That didnt do crap. ok So then someone told me Oh hey you dont have a barometric pressure sensor. Didnt get one yet but i will. Im sure thats not the problem tho but it will help. so I thought maybe it might be my TPS so replaced it. unplugged it while the engine was running and plugged it back in. Boom 1100 rpms But Trun off the engine and turn it back on back to 1600. Hmm so then i thought of this funny idea hey lets unplug the idle air control sensor with the motor on Whala 550 rpms-600rpms doesnt bog down up and down anymore. But if you unplug it while it bogs it kills it or it will keep bogging. I beliave my IAC is Bad Im really excited i think i got it please tell me if im correct. Im really hoping i am. If i am i willl replace it asap! haha
Maybe i will post a video of it running and me unplugging the IAC. But not tell tommorow its dark.
