[Shotimes] 89 SHO Idle Issues - Help Please

[Paul L Fisher]

Welcome!

Usually an IAB problem causes stalling. It's possible it is stuck open. Go to 
www.shotimes.com click on maintenance and look for the topic My SHO stalls 
intermittently; why?  and My SHO surges at steady throttle; why? and Cleaning 
the IAB valve

Let us know how it turns out.

> 
> Symptoms:
> 
> While engine is running, if I hold the clutch in, it typically revs between
> 1400 and 1800 continuously every 2 seconds or so.
> 
> After driving, if I put it in neutral and let out the clutch, it revs at a
> steady 2500 RPM for a full 30 seconds before revving between 1800 and 2500
> every 5 seconds or so.
> 
> Sometimes (though more rarely and possibly unrelated) going around turns,
> if
> the clutch is in, it revs up to 3000 RPM, until I complete the turn.
> 
> I don't trust dealerships because of past pillaging, and I am not near any
