Little help please?

Ok so the 85 Coupe with its little 2.3L wont Idle. Can someone please tell me what this sensor is hanging off the side of the carb and if it could keep the car from idling?




Sometimes it will Idle really high for a few seconds but then it always dies.

The car does not alter the way it runs weather it is plugged in or not.

Looks like the idle air control to me. That def will make it idle weird if not working properly. U can sometimes clean them out with brake cleaner...

Idle speed control bypass valve. May be able to remove and clean deposits off it, but there is also a idle up control relay located on the RH fender apron, check that.

Well I will do that sir.

The prob I have is it will not idle. Stop at a light and it dies, It cranks right back up but wont stay running unless you keep working the gas pedal. Sometimes it will crank and Idle up to 1500rpm or so for a few seconds then die. :-( I just want it to run.
