Mine kind of does the same thing is 82 cutlass supreme with a 231 V6 motor. Mine when I started in the morning and if is cold it make a loud as noise for a long time till it warms up I think is the electronic choke .

Maybe its time to rebuild you carburator that might help.

The fact that it does it in park may be because there is no load on the engine from the transmission. When you stop at lights, I presume you leave it in Drive. If this is the case, the engine is working against the torque convertor which will slow it down a bit.

Have you had anything done to the car recently that my have disturbed something under the bonnet? If your car has engine management it could be an electrical fault like a faulty sensor. Or it could be something as simple as the accelerator cable sticking - especially if it is worn and the inner has frayed and is binding on the outer.

na i havent done anything to my car lately....well actually i guess about a few days before this happen (might have been a little longer) i did spray some carb cleaner...could that maybe have done it? thanks alot for everyones input and i think im probaby gonna look into rebuilding the carb.

I really need to rebuild mine too.

 

[Torx]

mine does the same 231, v6.

i gotta mash it down after its idled up high for a while to idle it down.

i wish it would just idle down by itself like it SUPPOSED to.
sheesh.

I wouldn't have thought so, unless maybe you got some of it in a sensor nearby or something. I don't know if your car has things like that under the bonnet that may affect the carburettor settings if they go wrong.

If your car has a trottle position switch that could very well be the culprit.

the vacuum lines aways get old and brake and causes them 2 idle high on those 231 engines check them first
