Over the winter my beater truck (’89 2.3 x-cab) went from about 24 MPG to 18 MPG. So as the weather is getting better I took some time to investigate. I ran my code reader and got a 33 and 77. The 33 is an EGR and the 77 apparently is some error I did? Anyhow since then and I didn’t make any adjustments I am having idle issues. When it’s all warm and I’m driving along I go to stop, throw in the clutch and the idle goes to 1500-ish RPM. Then after about 5 seconds it comes down to 700-ish RPM, tap the gas and it shoots to 1500 and another 5 seconds or so it drops to 700. I didn’t get any error on a TPS but I wonder? Any ideas on the erratic idle? I still need to figure out my gas mileage. I didn’t think and EGR would drop it like that, would it?
Thanks,
