Question:
I've got major issues with this, because not only does it consume way more fuel when doing this, it also gets dangerous when trying to stop on a wet road. I've replaced the IAC sensor, TPS, checked all vacume lines, checked fuel lines for leaks, replaced air filter, checked; PCV, hose, and filter, replaced Fuel Injector, and replaced MAP Sensor. All that's left are the ECM and EGR valve...
I checked the EGR though and it sputters and dies when you fully open it by hand, and by diagnostic logic, that means it works. The only other problem as far as engine performance goes is when it isn't idling at 6k rpm it either idles right, or doesn't idle period. There's supposedly a sensor on the engine that tells the transmission when to mechanically "lock-up" but as far as I can tell it doesn't lock-up ever...

Seems like you checked most everything.One thing that I would check is the the tube connecting the air filter to the intake. If there is something lodged in there. you will get high idle conditions. I know this from experience. this causes the throttle plate to stay stuck open. also, make sure that the throttle is not sticking, (also causing the throttle plate to stay stuck open. mabe the throttle cable is binding and sticking.
Dash lights get dimmer when I apply the brakes. Could this be my alternator going bad ?
try checking for vacume leaks behind the engine. there is a vac line going back into the firewall that goes to the brake booster up front. Check that as well as the connection up front too.Otherwise check for intake manifold and throttle body leaks. Disconnect your iav and see if it dies.

Check the spray pattern on the injector. Could be dribbling and squirting instead of spraying.More Questions & Answers ...
