map sensor????? are those the three on the front of the throttle body?
 
Should be able to see map etc in this. Don't forget though that there is vacuum lines going inside the cab for cruise release, a/c control etc.

i think the ones goin into the cab are fine...they were replaced already i believe...:dunno:.for my 90 is the map sensor in the same place?....when i get home early from school i will check the rest of them and hopefully my idle issue is ressolved

Should be, mine's a '91.

thanks alright i got the problem fixed....all set...the one that went to the EGR valve were junk....but now i have another problem....when i was swapping in the new steering box one of the lines was real bad but didnt leak so we left it...well when i was stepping in the engine compartment i must of step on that because when i turned the truck on to see if the idle was set...and i jumped out i saw fluid on the ground...looked in the engine bay and saw fluid coming out of that aluminum hose and i can feel a crack in it..... :mad: :mad:
