Hunting idle Verde, GTV6



 Hello:

I suggest you:

1) Remove the air duct off the throttle body and clean  the inside of the 
throttle body and the throttle plate especially the edges with a 
rag/toothbrush and Carb. cleaner. Over time carbon deposits build up and this 
upsets the idle. This almost always results in a smoother and higher idle 
speed.

2) Since the crankcase ventilation system on the V6 is not that efficient, 
oil condenses at the outlet of the Air Flow Sensor and in the end of the hose 
connecting to it. Clean that out.

Let us know how you make out.
