Just make sure that if u are going to spray out the throttle body that the cleaner you use is MAF sensor safe. I personally would avoid spraying upwards to the MAF port myself.

I'm worried there might be transmission issues with the car now. It seems like as soon as one thing is fixed, something else goes wrong. When starting the car, the motor is revved up really high. It'* not an idle issue, because it happens while driving as well. When it does this, the RPM'* run between 3 and 4000. It'* almost like someone has their foot on the gas pedal and won't let off. While this is happening, the car accelerates up to 60Mph on it'* own, and it lasts for about 15 minutes, then goes back to normal. It is nearly impossible to stop while it'* happening too. When he switches from drive to neutral, or even park, it'* an extremely hard shift and feels like the motor might explode. I'm doing my research on what could be causing the problem, but I thought I'd check in with y'all and see if anyone has any idea what'* wrong. I've never seen a vehicle do this before. Any thoughts and advice would be fantastic.

The IAC (intake air control) needs to be remove and cleaned. Have u done this yet?

I let is soak upright in the cap...with combo of degreaser & TB Spray.


Use The TB Cleaner & q-tip to get outside the opening.
Spray TB Cleaner lots inside the port too!

Not yet, but I am willing to try anything. All the other issues have been fixed, then this started happening. I'll let you know if it changes anything. Thanks!

The IAC is responsible for high idle problems. Try cleaning it.
If it still runs high, get a new GM IAC part and try again.

Another thing that could cause the issue you now have could be the throttle body butterfly valve, it could be intermittently getting stuck open.

Ya good point there William ! I have seen that before too. Carbon builds up then it starts to stick...yuk.
Ensure the Throttle body plate swings easily and opens and closes completely free without binding anywhere. I use trumpet oil on linkage once in a while too.
I like to clean the butterfly plate edges, top and bottom too. You would have to remove the screen with snap ring pliers, to access the intake though.

Okay, I pulled the MAF, TPS, and IAC off the throttle body, I cleaned the butterfly valve, and the IAC. The car seems to be acting better this morning, but when he was on his way to work, it still acted like it was stuck on cruise control. The Rpm didn't go crazy, and the speed never topped 40Mph on it'* own (before it was almost at 70mph). It didn't last nearly as long as It did these past few days, but the issue is still there. I cleared all the codes and I'm going to recheck to see if it throws one after being driven today. He'* ready to take it back to his mechanic, I'm not. The IAC looked a little rough, even after I cleaned it. I'm thinking about replacing it and seeing what that does. I know the MAF is still good.

This new issue seems to only happen after the car has been sitting for a few hours, like over night, or in the parking garage during the day. I wasn't sure if that would make a difference, or not.

if the iac is rough looking, its going to cause issues has to be able to control the air predictably
