Lately its been idling around 1500 and surging to 2000 intermittently. So I was reading on the other forum about it and found one thing that said adjust the screw so I screwed it all the way down and it brought it back to around 900-1000. After I started driving it the idle jumped back up to 1500 but didn't surge any more and then settled back down to 900. Still no surge so thats good.

Do you think by BAC could be bad? I know i dont "need" it but it does help with idle speed. I suppose I could unplug it and see how the car responds.

There's a procedure for adjusting this screw in the FSM. IIRC, while idling and warmed up you have to ground one of the pins in the green check connector located elsewhere in the engine bay and then adjust the screw so the TPS voltage is within a certain range.

EDIT: In the '89 FSM it's in section F1. Pages F1-15 and 16 cover idle adjustment, pages F1-40 and 41 cover idle control and checking the BAC, and page F1-83 covers checking the TPS. Found here: http://www.wright-here.net/files/man...mission_NA.pdf
