UPDATE stupid idle problem. Need some help. Video included.

[lucas]

Hey guys got a new idle problem that just showed up. Ill include a video after the description.

When I'm just parked or at a light the car starts to jump up and down idling. I can also here a clicking noise under the dash by the fuse box that coincides with the jump in idle.

I have had IACV problems in the past but whenever that would decide to act up it would always throw a code but go away after id go over 20 mph was mostly random while normal driving but happens almost every time after i fill up.

-I would point towards the iacv but as you stated... Wonder if its a fuel relay or has something to do with fuel. Be my .02

Is the CEL coming on? Have you checked for codes?

The idle increase may be a symptom rather than the problem. If something is triggering or calling for the higher idle, like the AC system or something else that could cause the rpm to increase.

Where does the clicking seem to be coming from?

[lucas]

no CEL just does this randomly starting the other day. Also i went to start my car this morning and it fired up but then bogged down almost till dying before revving back to normal and thats the first time thats ever happened.

The clicking seems to be coming from under the drivers side dash down by the fuse box area, from what i can tell anyway

So poking around under my hood I notices that three of the wires leading into my throttle position sensor are cut or coming out of there socket with bare wire showing. Im almost sure this isn't a good thing and now am i need in some advice on how to fix this.

A. cut the harness off and put a new/used junkyard one on.

B. repin the wires which i have no idea how to do.

Any advice will be meet with an excellent joke

Cut your TPS plug as close as you can, and then go to the junkyard and cut off a plug with a good amount of wire showing. This should give you enough length to make splicing easy. Just match each wire, either solder them (recommended) or twist a good amount of bare wire together, fold the wire over and tape it. And you should be good to go. TPS will screw your idle up, so I would start with that.

Just an FYI, if you start a new related thread, please provide the link to it so others can follow the trail in the future. Same thing with the new thread, it's a good idea to link back to the old one. I added the link to your new thread in your post above.

Thanks
