CHTS questions

can a bad chts affect the idle of a v30 n/a in a 1987 300zx. My car seems to idle high at about 1600 rpm. The maf was bad i changed that seems to run good but at a high idle. I tested the tps by unplugging it and starting the car idled right above 2k when i unplugged it. So im thinking eather timing or CHTS=cylinder head tempature sensor. can other sensors cause a high idle. From what i have read its tps ,maf, and someone told me the chts. Im gonna change the plug wires and do the timing, with a timing light. already did the plugs. It doesnt seem like a tune up issue to me the car is just idling high but running perfectly fine when driving. If i drop it in drive going down the road it idles fine. When i drop it in drive it idles at 700 with my foot on the brake.

I think its on the drivers side of the plenum. You can just it with a flat screwdriver if I'm not mistaken.

thanks i did some reading in the fsm and i unplugged the iat sure enough the car idles at like 1000-1100 with it unplugged. I noticed the screw its right by the throttle body where the cable connects. It seems like its stripped kinda, where you would put a flat head screw driver is really wide and it looks like its turned almost all the way in aswell. i think im gonna hafta take off the intake to get it loosened up. Maybe use the flat head end of a tire iron donno.

Is it bad to run the car with the iat unplugged it seemed to run way better?
