High idle cause found (pic)

[fivestring]

I just bought this 87 2wd Ranger. It had the TPS disconnected and a lot of other problems needing attention, including missing vac lines, etc. But it did run, albeit with a very high idle and not very good acceleration or performance.

I plugged in everything I could find that was disconnected and after reading a little on high idle issues on TRS, I tried disconnecting the iac and setting the idle to something near normal, which it did just fine. OK. I have a bad or dirty iac.

I removed the iac today to clean and test it and this is what I found....

The gasket was installed just as you see it here. Lolz. Not even close. I believe there may have been beer involved when this was installed.

Thanks fastpkr. I was in the middle of editing and had to return to work.

No problem. Can you do anything on your end to reduce the size? I didn't see any obvious way to use a thumbnail as the image and link to the full size. May have just missed something when I looked quickly this morning.

^^ That code aught to do it if you remove the spaces inside the [ ]

Thanks, that's the right code. Not sure why I couldn't find it earlier.
