Yes, I'm good at digging... LOL!! Checked all the connections first thing. Last thing today was to hit more 'easy' things. I pulled out the air intake hose and checked the air filter assy which was fine. Throttle was moving freely.

Something I missed before was a high pitched chattering near the throttle when turning the key to "on" (not cranking). I could only pin point the noise to near the throttle. Had to stop before I could find an assembly drawing. My uneducated guess is there may be a solenoid-controlled valve in that area. Cold idle is way too low -- may be fuel or air related. It's not the starter solenoid.

Something to look forward to for tomorrow.

On the Camaro there is a motor driven valve to adjust idle speed (Idle air
bypass) and hold it steady. That would only affect idle condition though
not higher ranges.
