My in-laws 92 GA (V6/auto) has cold start idle problems. It wants to stumble and die, or rev to 2grand when cold. also stumbles when trying to accelerate at hi-way speeds. No codes are showing up. He cleaned the TB with carb cleaner and it helped a little. I know that Fords need to have the IAC valve cleaned, but there are some dangers with the method and type of cleaners used on the Ford IAC. Does the GM IAC need similar cleaning, and are there any dangers or warnings about the procedure and cleaners used? Any other ideas what the problem could be.? VAcuum leak maybe, or is there a TV cable/linkage that needs adjusting for the hi-way issue? I'm just guessing here, since most of my experience has been with newer Fords. This guy is old-school, and a little nervous about 'new crap'. He's also a long way away, but I said i'd try to help out. Thanks.
