Stop in for a cup of coffee

IAC ?

Idle air control. It's right on the side of the throttle body

Oh that was you!!!

I thought it was chewbacca, trying to be sexy

Hey I am going to pose a question and then head to bed and see if I have an answer tomorrow. Keith may be the one to answer. I have a Dodge Neon that started to rev up when in park. ANd at times surges. It has gotten to the point that it will take me down the road at 55-60 without touching the tgas pedal. There are no codes and no vacuum leaks that I can find. Is it Fuel sensor? Cam sensor? or something else?

Throttle postition sensor???

 

[krazykuda]

I think it's gonna take me a French Dip to catch up on the reading. So I better go get one

Hey, I may be a dip (****), but I ain't French....

 

[krazykuda]

I sent Rani some nude selfies.. She sent them back!

Were they critiqued?

Yeah, there was a short piece of thread hanging between his legs....

 

[krazykuda]

I just finished another chapter for building a small block... Been working on it since yesterday morning on and off...

OK, so...
Cam sensor would almost definitely give a code.
My first thought was throttle position sensor. But your not moving the throttle. IIRC it has a spring return. So, I suppose if that failed it could go nuts and do whatever. But I believe they more commonly fail by not giving you anything vs too much.
IAC can definitely give a surge. I don't know about idling at highway speed though. It's just a small opening that bypasses the closed throttle plate to give air during idle.
There's a speed sensor - somewhere. Not sure what it's 'normal failures' are.

My Laser used to randomly rev up to 3500 RPM while sitting at a light... It turned out to be a bad/failing throttle position sensor...

Some guys used to think I was revving it up on purpose and would try to race me off the line...

Morning?????? or is it just after midnight?

Well it aint Monday anymore!

 

[dukeboy440]

Morning

 

[halifaxhops]

Morning guys, and Tike!

 

[ZMan67S]

Good morning goof balls!!

 

[halifaxhops]

Guess better than soft balls?

Well admitting makes it easier...

I just replaced tps on a ram for high idle.

 

[halifaxhops]

Well they are dropping!

I would think a code reader would get you in the right direction?

Can get about 2 grand out of iac.
But it would set a code.
Tps wont set a code unless it goes open/shorts to voltage.

Scan tool. It will tell tell you what degree its at, its likely out of range/dirty.

 

[halifaxhops]

Doubt he has one maybe a hf cheapie not sure. Hey Tike what ya got? @dartnabout

 

[Tooljunkie]

Easyautosiagnostics.com

will give you step by step tutorial about testing tps. I use this site often.

Well going to get the Chevy cleaned up for a car show Labor Day. Barracuda is in repair or restoration and not going anywhere for a few weeks.
I have a little surgery tomorrow. They are going to cut out a little spot on my forearm, and remove a little skin cancer spot.
I have had this procedure four or five times now, no big deal.
I'll have a few stiches so will be limited for a few days.
