1989 chevreolet s10 will not idle

Apr 21, 2007 3 Replies

I am unable to get my 89 chev s10 5speed to idle. It will start and stay running if you feather the gas but will not idle on its own. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dana



How about starting with the engine size and a history of any recent work?

I havechanged the plugs wires distributor cap and rotor I have also swapped out the Coil. and this is a 2.5L 4cyl. 5speed

Look for vacuum leaks, check the idle air control for not working or stuck or carboned up as well as the passages to it and the throttle body.
