Welcome!

Almost sounds like a Vac. leak.
To search out a Vac. leak get some starting fluid and just mist it around the intake and Vac. lines.
If she picks up in idle check that area and repair it.

I know of one vac line thats missing I'm not sure where it goes......on the back of the intake its got a T fitting the big line from the intake to brake booster on one side and on the other is a small vac line Im not sure where that line goes other than from the intake

be sure that ur injectors are seated all the way into the intake. I used to have a 3.4 that i rebuilt n when i got it back together it was idling around 3k n i found it to be one of the injectors in the rear hadnt been pushed all the way in

[blacklt1firebird]

go by a can of carb clean n just shoot small spurts of it around the base of the intake, on vacuum hoses, and around ur injectors n see if it affects ur idle at all. do it in small spurts so if the idle jumps ull know the area of where its leakin

[redmond87]

alright thanks...... I'll have to do that tomorrow.....damn storm killing me......

do you know where that vac line goes that i talking about?

for ya - not familiar enough with the 3.4Ls to be able to help. Put your finger on the vacuum line on the intake if you can reach it and see if the idle goes down. If it does that's your only problem. If it doesn't, you might have more leaks. Carb cleaner will definitely help pinpoint it - I'm a firm believer in that.

There are vac. lines all over the intake you'll just have to do a search and destry mission
