Message 1) Do vacuum test at port downstream of throttle body. Look at the balance tube for port that supplies the AIV's snd disconnect that and plug vac gage in or put a T in the vac line if not sure. At idle a steady reading in the range of about 19 to 21" Hg should be present if OK. If needle vibrates al lot at +/- 0.5"Hg that could be valve guides. Low readings could be rings. Vacuum gage will reveal clooged exhaust.

Here are descriptions of the various vac readings .................................

2) Pick a trouble procedure and follow up

3) Do a compression and leakdown test if above doesn't fix it.

report back results of above tests
