okay i had my car running right for the first time yesterday:icon_bigg. took it down the road had no spitting or sputtering nothing out of the ordinary. got home saw some smoke under the hood so i checked it out. cracked lower radiator hose no biggy. relpaced it and some how now my car has a whole new dose of problems:cry:. my idle is pretty high (around 1100-1500) and when i step on the gas and hold it at about 1900rpm it starts to fluctuate between 1900-1100. i dont get it. i thought vacuum at first but ive checked all the lines and there fine. my next thought is TPS, or IACV. oh also when i pull on the throttle body linkage to close it idle drops to about 800rpm. but thats almost useing all my strength to get it that low. so im thinking its TPS but not 100%. i dont have any codes ive checked it multiple times hope it would just tell me whats wrong with it and i get nothing. so im pretty much out of ideas so if some one could help me that would be great. Thanks.
