Lately it's been 32° degrees in the mornings
In these kind of temps what rpms should be ok I'm getting almost 2k Rpms but lowers to 1.2k after warm In the summer cold gets me 1.4k but lowers to .9k rpm after warm Is this normal for me or not please help |

Also the problem could be in the connector/wires to the sensor itself.
You test the sensor with an ohmmeter, when cold it might read 10k-30k ohms, when hot it might be closer to 1k-5k ohms. If the old connector looks like the wires are about to break off you should repair that. Just go to the salvage yard and clip off one with 4" of wire left on it so you can crimp it to your wires. Also the throttle opening diaphragm should be set so it idles about 1300 with it all the way out. Disconnect the vacuum line on the diaphragm and adjust the set screw for that. Really it should idle around 1200 when cold and come down to 800 as soon as it warms up just a bit.
