To recap: Both my engine and that of Larry Himli (both 2.1s) idle around 2400-3000 rpm. In my case, it used to be that it would just do that till it got warm, then it would idle properly, and sometimes pop up to idle at 2400-3000 rpm. Now it does it all the time. I swapped out the idle computer. No change. My temporary fix: Unplug the idle air bypass solenoid. Engine runs great otherwise.
Larry's AC thing is interesting -- it says that the idle computer is at least trying... I'm still wondering about the computer. There was a post a few years back about fixing damaged computers by replacing a one transistor that always blew. The inputs and outputs are pretty simple. I went through this too, and heres what I came up with: IDLE COMPUTER INPUTS: Idle Switch PS Switch AC Switch Hall Generator Temp sensor 2 Power from relay IDLE COMPUTER OUTPUTS: Idle air bypass Ideas? Anyone? Beuller?
