Hi idle doesnt kick down

[ranchhopper]

My high idle on the 1009 does not kick down even when warm I have it disconnected until I figure what is wrong with it. The plunger seems to stick you can manually push it back in when the truck is warm is there a way to lube them up or should I be looking for a replacement?

First I would remove it and clean it really well and then give it a try. That's just me. They are not a cheap item if they are still available. Lube it with some oil. Not spray lube.

OK and if that doesn't work I think I have a spare from a parts truck here somewhere.

ACDELCO still makes them and the one I bought last year was made in the USA.
Could also be your temp sensor.

He said he unplugged it and it still done it. That is why I leaned towards clean and lube. It sounds a bit dry and sticky. Happy Holidays. Please report back on your findings.

That rules out sensor.
I lubed mine and it didn’t make a difference.
Installed new one. Problem solved.
