96 Chevy HIGH IDLE
 

On start up idles high and dosnt go down until drop it into gear hereing a big clang.When we take and select park the idle goes back up ,even after truck has been running for awhile please help.............

Sounds like it might be a vacuum leak. Hope you have better luck looking for it than you've had looking for a Chevy forum :rolleyes:

Is the Check Engine light on ?
Some possible causes:
1. TPS = Throttle position sensor.
2. ACT = Air Charge Temperature Sensor.
3. IAC = Idle Air Control Valve. ;)

The clanking is probably a worn out universal joint on the driveshaft, or a worn out rear axle gears. All very common on these. I used to have a 95' Suburban SLT.

Try this Chevrolet/GMC truck forum for more help. This is the link to the 88-99 truck forum. Many other forums there covering ALL of the Chevrolet cars and trucks.

try some carb cleaner,spray around bottom of throttle body,intake for pos broken vac hose. behind throttle body there is a nippel for brake booster made of plastic ? the intake is plastic ? crack.:cool:

Do your backup lights work?
That would indicate the park neutral switch. this switch tells the ECM when you have selected a drive gear, and what to do with the idle control. A scan tool will show the switch function.
