Yes - You have a vacuum leak
Vacuum leak.
My 1986 GMC High Sierra 1500 stock transmission is a 700R4. My 1986 GMC High Sierra 1500 stock transmission is a 700R4. it could also be a th 400
There is no idler pulley on this year Fiero so you must mean Idle Speed. It is most likely that if the idle is high and it wont slow down automatically, 1500 or so, that you have a cracked EGR pipe between the intake and the EGR valve. There are replacements available on line from companies like "The Fiero Store"
manufacturer recommends 5w30.....I usually use 10w30 in older high milage vehicles. It also depends on your location (climate)
2004 chevy cavalier is idling to high
Most '86 Caprice engines were fitted with a four barrel carb which requires occasional adjustment to keep idle at reasonable speed.
You probably have a cracked EGR tube The Fiero Store has replacements Google them
you most likely have a horrible fuel sensory causing your car to be bad at idling. also you may hvae reved your engine to hard and that is causing it to idle.
If this is the 2.8 v6 then the high idle is probably a vacuum leak. Check all vacuum lines for leaks and to verify that they are routed as the sticker on the deck lid shows. Check the EGR tube as these fail often and is most likely the cause. Also check throttle body and intake manifold gaskets. Spray parts cleaner on these areas while engine is idling; if the idle speed temporarily drops then you have found the leak!
the only thing i can think of is a crack in the intake manifold. my cavalier's manifold cracked and it was idling at like 2500RPM as opposed to the normal 1000-1500, also i had trouble with my brakes and misc other problems because of the crack. if it is just idling too high and there are no other problems i would guess that it is just compensating for the cold. if there are other little issues, i would look into having your intake manifold checked out. gotta take care of your baby because cavaliers are such great cars...... :p
Throttle plate stuck?
clean your injectors.
