Hey guys. I need all the help i can get.
I'm still having trouble with the throttle on my 4.3 v6.
i keep finding that when i take it out of gear the engine races and does not idle back down. this is getting very annoying. please if you know of anything or have had any trouble with yours let me know! it also doesnt idle at 600 rpm like it should. it idles around 1,000rpm.

please help me!!!

Did you take the tb off? I had a similar problem, when I put it back on, I tightened the idle screw too far and it idled at 1000 rpms

i didnt pull the tb off but i recently put a rebuilt motor in it and the intake was removed when they had the motor rebuilt. i'll check the idle screw. any ideas on the engine racing?

That would have to do with the idle screw as well, i'd put it in drive and it would try to take off with out and gas. I could idle at 10 mph lol

thats interesting. i'll take a look. you dont happen to know if i can have the throttle body rebuilt do you?

Maybe but I would think it'd be just as cheap to go to a junkyard and pull one from another truck
