This silverado is pissing me off.

I'm getting really sick of this low idle on my Silverado. I've done everything under the sun and still have not been able to fix the idle.

Once the car warms up it starts idling very low like 400-500 rpm. I'm about to say screw it and just manually turn up the idle speed.

I have no codes(light works)
I've replaced the EGR, PCV, IAC, TPS, and had all other sensors tested.
I have gone over the vacuum lines a million times and have had no luck.
I just had the 90k maintenance done which had my timing chain and gear replaced and timing adjusted (the low idle happened before that).
I've replaced ALL the fuel components. And have solid fuel pressure.
New plugs/wires
New cap/rotor
new MSD coil
New battery
Alternator bench tested fine

Ignition, Air, Fuel.


What am i missing? Should i just turn up the idle speed manually? The car drives fine, just has a low idle after about 10 min or so.

One thing I didn't notice on your list of items was new plugs... Worn out plugs can cause that too...

If that doesn't work, turn it up manually...
