error234 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I’m having a issue I can’t seem to figure out. Here is my set up and my problem 83 280ZX turbo model with 5.3l 4l60e built transmission. It did not have a p/s pump installed before And ran just fine. Idle was great. So I had lines made, installed bracket and pump, new belt that fit, ran the belt using the same set up as a camaro SS. So I start the car up and power steering works great but my idle seems to start around 2k and rises. Never settles at one point either. Wonder what I might be missing here? Thank you for your suggestions. I can’t seem to find anything online pertaining to my problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Tech Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 did you recently have the battery disconnected? when i disconnect and re-connect the battery in my z, the computer which is for a 1999 camaro has to relearn and the first few times i start it the idle goes up and down some but it eventually straightens out after a little driving. it will sometimes go as high as 2k rpm's but not really past that and will also dip low enuff that i think its going to stall but doesnt. or mayb you didnt diconnect the battery but should so that it can realize there is a different amount of load on the engine. hope any of this helps, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error234 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I actually took the cables off but I guess I didn’t do it long enough. I left them off for 30 mins this morning. started it up and idled just fine. Feel like a dumbass but atleast it’s all working and having power steering is nice :). Thanks again!

error234 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 So I go out to start the car this morning and having the same issues again. Start fine but idle at 2k and steadily increases. Can’t figure out why. No codes or anything. Any ideas? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check your hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error234 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 After a couple hours of looking around, i found my issue! The connector to the throttle position sensor tab was broken and wasn’t in all the way. Plugged in securely and runs/idles fine! Must of came loose while I was installing the pump. Thanks again everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
