[Shotimes] Idle Changes when Depressing Clutch Pedal

[Paul L Fisher]

The knock in my case was the rod bearings. Replaced them and no more knock!

> Folks,
> It has been years since I was on the SHO list, but I have run into a very
> interesting problem with my '89.  It has begun to idle higher that normal
> (1500 rpm) and takes longer to settle down to normal idle (800 rpm) when
> coming to a complete stop, engine warm or cold.  It has a new IAC valve
and
> TPS.  Another oddity is that when I depress the clutch pedal, it idles
back
> down to 800 rpm - like taking it out of gear when coming to a stop.  This
is

> Another problem is that I have spark knock, when engine warm, from 2000 to
> 3500 rpm under WOT or slightly less than WOT.  I have had the engine
> decarbonized at FPS in ATL recently to try to correct the problem, but
that
> has not.  Could it be the knock sensor?  Is there a knock sensor?
>
> Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated!
