I replaced all the vacuum lines I could find
Anything hidden I may have missed??
Vacuum at the bottle if the throttle body??
How can check/adjust?

With everything connected and the air filter installed spray around the entire intake manifold with starting fluid and see if it revs up.

I have a throttle position sensor on its way
In hopes it's that
If y'all have any other suggestions I would appreciate it.
I will say
That at some point the stock intake was removed and has a 15" air filter

So what kind of intake is on it now? Stock throttle body correct? Could be intake manifold gasket leak if someone swapped out the manifold.

What else did you try? Did you mess with the timing at all?

Haven't messed with timing
Don't have a gun

Cleaned the IAC

I would check the timing,,,Theres a wire plug in you have to disconnect before you set the timing at 0deg TDC,,,,Its worth it to check the timing,,,these GM TBI motors are a pain in the ass to diagnose but when theyre running good they really do run good. High idle could be your timing is too far advanced.

But most common cause is vac leak, aftermarket parts like coil, pcv valve, whatever can cause big problems.

I had an msd coil on mine and it fried the rotor inside the cap, was a new cap and rotor, I had to take it to a mechanic to have him go through every component until he checked the rotor and found it was cooked inside. You couldn't tell it was bad by looking at it. Replaced it and the coil and its been running good since.

I put a new IAC in yesterday and it seems to have solved the problem
Instead of idle ing at 1000 -1100
It idles at 600-700

Let us know if that stops the surging idle issue too, thanks.
