blazer wont idle down until stopped
I just bought a 02 blazer with a 4.3, my problem it won't idle all the way down until I've been stopped for a second or two, the idle will drop about 400 rpm to about 750 rpm. Also I can let my foot off the brake and after it starts to roll the idle will jump up about 400 rpm without touching the gas pedal .

My 1996 MT 2dr Blazer has had this problem too ( engine would rev over 2,000 RPM's). It seemed to get worse when it got cold, and I finally bought a GM Throttle Position Sensor ( 64 dollars ), replaced it in 5 minutes. Since the IAC is the TPS close neighbor, I took a good look at it too. I think the carbon built up in the IAC passage to the throttle body, and was hindering the IAC plunger to fully seat. So I figured I'd take out the IAC ( 2 torx screws and a wire to disconnect ) and clean the plunger on the end with aerosol throttle body and intake cleaner. Then I sprayed the passage connecting the IAC to the Throttle Body, where the IAC plunger seats. To get it good and clean put on a cheap cloth glove, and spray TB cleaner on the pinky finger tip and give the aluminum seat a cleaning ( like you'd use a Qtip to clean your ear ). The cleaning and reassembly of the IAC took about 15 minutes. Between these two things, my truck is running great. Hope this helps.
