throttle body
Mkk to remind people of my problem/headache my turck acts like its going to stall at stops and in parking lots it has a hunting idle goes down to 500 then above 1000 then settles at 850 when you push the clutch in. It idles fine and runs fine though and as of today i have officially replaced every sensor took it to the deaer 5 times and still dont know!!! Good compression new fuel filter, injectors, and fuel pressure regulator!! No codes and have replaced and checked every sensor so i know its not that!!! The only thing i havent done is taken my throttle body off and cleaned it i have cleaned it on the truck but not off of it!! My question is what is the procedure for cleaning these? I did a search on the internet for my problem and someone had a similar problem and they said something about a small hole on the throttle body being clogged any one know what hole this is? I have ran sea foam through it and i always use fuel injector cleaner/gas treatment when i fill up. Thanks guys one day i will fix this problem and stop bothering you guys with the same problem!!!

Zuk, I could be wrong but I would think the smallest hole in the system is the injector nozzles and that would be the place most likely to get clogged. Have you looked at the spray pattern on both injectors and see if they have the same flow? If the pattern is different one side from the other try switching the electrical leads and see if it's different because of a bad injector or an electrical problem.

I put the Holley on mine and it works well, I bought it new and they are a little pricy.
I hate to tell you to buy one if that isn't you're problem.
Too bad you don't live a bit closer, I have a couple old TBI's laying around and would gladly let you try one out to see if it helped.
