The idle is controlled by a device called "IAC motor". It's located on the throttle body. It can be either extremely dirty or just inopperative.
its either a vacume pipe leak or in my case a bad throttle position sensor
tps throttle position sensor
Look and listen for a vacumn leak under the hood.
Not really possible. There is an idle speed control on most 1988 v6 machines. If you are experiencing high idle, it may be a broken ISC. The idle speed is controlled by computer. http://www.marksatterfield.com
The idle speed on a 1987 Chevy Celebrity is controlled by the engine computer, there is no way provided to adjust it.
How high is your idle? idle should be 800rpm good oil pressure is obtained at this idle
Check your TPS TPS = throttle position system
Check for vacuum leaks. The gasket was known to blow out between the throttle body and the intake manifold.
Vacuum leek
Most likely, the idle is set too high. There is an idle adjustment screw on the carburetor.
a vacuum leak can cause high idle
There really isn't an adjustment just the IAC valve which may be dirty causing the idle to be too high or too low so the Idle Air Control valve has to be cleaned or changed.
