High idle

[2.9._ranger]

I know people ask about this all the time but I just got my engine turning on again after about a year of working on the truck, when it turns on it runs good and steady it just idles at 1100 without fluctuating at all and when I rev it the rpms rise but it takes a little while for it to drop after I let off the gas, I’ve gotten rid of as many vacuum leaks I can find, I just need some opinions from other people as to what steps I should take because I don’t want to mess with the idle adjustment screw and go down that rabbit hole

it sounds like you still have a small vacuum leak

also the power steering pump shakes when it’s idling but everything is tightened down good I just don’t have a compressor on at the moment could that be causing the shaking or is it something else?

just the ps shakes? thats really wierd. maybe your motor mounts are needing replacement?

Yea just that and the mount that goes with it, my engine mounts are brand new

 

[superj]

trans mounts are new too?

if you take the belt of the ps pulley, does it still shake?

Yes trans mount is new too and I’m not sure but I’d assume so because the belt seems to be what’s helping it shake less

if it shakes with no belt, its something with the engine shaking and the pump just happens to be where its most visible. if it stops, the shake is from the pump itself, like maybe its out of balance or something, if that is possible?

It could possibly be the engine cuz I haven’t dialed in the timing yet but I can also shake just the pump by hand so it could be the pump shaking and not the engine
