Daughters is coming over tomorrow with a problem, 93 small 6cyl, manual
transmission. She spent the night on the 4th , next morning it starts but
the rpm's drop almost to the stalling level, surges back up and repeats for
about 2 minutes then it's fine, she told me it had been doing it for about a
month ( she's away at school so I don't see the truck too often) Saw a
previous post about a problem with the idle air control valve could it be
the same thing or any other suggestions as what to look at . With it only
lasting for a few minutes it looks like it will be hard to pinpoint.

Thanks for any input, Phil

Could be the engine temp sensor. Is the check engine light on?

They probably can't read it. It's EECIV not ODBII.

She overslept an came over at noon , not the best time to be working on
vehicles in Florida. The check engine light doesn't come on . Pulled a few
of the sensors I could access without any special tools and cleaned them
and reseated all the connectors on the off chance I might get lucky. She
started it up a few hours later and I got too see the problem, it started
ok , revs real high then slows almost to a stall, it only last 30 secs,she
told me 2 mins ( probably feels like 2 minutes ) then it levels of to
normal , I 'm feeling she might have to live with it until we get a complete
component failure or its a bit more consistent
