High Idle when hot - low power on up hill

[fixkick]

4sp has switch on the console, P/N n shifts soon for MPG, P shifts late for power,
the TV cable jammed or the TV valve on side of tranny stuck will cause, late shifting. in fact some call this the passing gear cable .
a weak engine, will always shift later. if true. unless, going down hill.

I can not speak for glued MAFs.
can you get 3v on the output pin doing the stall test?
the timing spark must be set with the freeze jumper or its all just a wasted effort, with no jumper the timing light bounces all over like crazy (normal)
see?
the isc and spark are not related.
but if isc is dead, and RPM is 1000 rpm you cant set timing.
because that is step 2 in the fsm instruction
1: hot engine 180F.
2: idle controls working right at 800pm (a bad isc , cant do it)
3: set freeze jump (jumper clip, even my 2004 had this)
4: set timing to spec.


the egr cleaned sure, really good idea.
1: pass smog tests. (NOX gasses)
2: more MPG,(1mpg?)
3: cooler running exhaust valves last longer.
4: no chance of engine ping/knock (detonations) and damage. from that. this engine has no knock sensor so the EGR is more important.
