Extreme high idle 97 Chevy blazer
I have been having a really hard time trying to figure this Blazer out. First I was having issues with the idle being sporadic and trying to stall out while in gear. I have spent quite a bit of money on it. For it to still be having all these issues concerning air/ fuel. It was running fine before I changed plugs ,wires ,cap and rotor. I'll admit I caused an unneeded problem when I had to crawl on to the motor to reach the distributor. I accidentally broke the map sensor. I went to AutoZone and used there reader to get the codes. It said p0300 multiple misfries detected probable cause fuel pressure regulator. So I changed that ( after removing the intake I noticed the map sensor was broke. So after I get it all back together I fire it up and bam still p0300 code pops up so I check all the plugs , wires and cap and rotor . That's when I noticed I had swapped the 1 and 3 plug wires so I changed that back right.now I fire it up and no misfires but still have issue of fluctuating idle and attempted stalling scan the codes again and now I have tps code and aic valve code so I replaced both then it is still doing it and now the codes say ambient air intake sensor and mass airflow sensor voltage out of range so I replaced both of them and that brings me up to today. I am kind of at a loss here.its pretty much down to the ecm or possibly the assisted air fuel injector control module ( spider module) could some please give me a little of there knowledge and wisdom on this issue the idle is at 3000rpm
First some philosophy.

- This rate of parts swapping can actually be causing more problems. You are probably replacing some good high quality OEM AC Delco electrical parts with inferior chineseum which can have a high failure rate. Your also dicturbing wiring harnesses, connectors, possibly causing voltage spikes, shorts, etc
- When you get a sensor code that means that there is a problem in the circuit that involves the sensor, not necessarily the sensor itself. It may be a valid out of bounds sensor reading indicating another problem like a vacuum leak. It can also be voltages, grounds, wiring, fuses, etc
- That many sensor codes points a more global problem like 5v/12v reference issues.
- Yes the ECM can fail but it is very rare

My concern with the ecm is that a diagnostic tool will not pull the vehicle info from the ecm. I purchased a elm327 Bluetooth obdii reader comparable with all obdii protocols and I can't get it to connect either.
But autozone was able to pull your codes? Read the original post in this thread:

is the IAC leaking?
Dumb question, but are the throttle plates closed on idle? Cruse control cable binding?
3K is a LOT of airflow, thats way more than idle air. There must be a throttle problem or air leak?
