Default i just dont get it

Well I thought my idle problems were fixed on the 93

ive done the base idle reset, checked tps, and i got it to idle pretty good around 1000, but thats with the stop screw on the throttle body all the way loose... and thats after the base idle reset and the IAC disconnected

but after i drive it for a bit and i let it idle, it sits around 1300-1500 which i thought was really odd

its not throwing any maf codes its just throwing a code for my o2 sensor

if your code for the 02's is a lean condition, look for vaccum leaks

Yep, check the codes...

IAC could be sticking? cleaning may help?

if the IAC isn't able to compensate, then idle speed will increase as the engine warms up... that is normal.
(friction/oil drag drops as the engine approaches op-temps)

Run the codes, just in case though.

even if the throttle body is all the way closed, ( i checked and its as far closed as i can get) the car will still idle and the throttle body screw isnt even holding it at all?
