Does anyone have a chart, or anything that will lable the sensors on the tranny?
This sounds like a rather common problem.... There must have been someone here that has fixed it!
Could it be the ECU?

Ok---It sounds like alot of us are having the same problem.Mine was surging alot when it was cold as **** outside,I played with the throttle,now it takes forever for it to come down from about 1500 rpm.But if I adjust it to lower it,when the motor gets good and hot--its to damn low.I never had this problem before untill the winter came.I am tired of dicking with it.Running the rpms so high does make shifting when its cold a bitch though.When some one finds out what the **** it is let us know.

i had the same problem. it was cause by my removed BACV instead of blocking the line i recconnected it to the hose coming from the tmic, this made my car rev itself from 1000-1500rpm.
just so you know its not the TB mod or anything that causes it, unless its done incorrectly.
my car has a lot done to it (and a lot removed from it) and still idles perfectly at 750rpm.

well mine idles high when i start it up, and doesnt start surging until it warms up. At one point the other day I had been driving for awhile, stopped at a stop light and it went down to 950 and idled solid. drove to the next light and its surging again. Thats the only time ive seen it have a proper idle. When I figure it out ill post what it was.

Not sure if its the related but my 87 T2 was idling at almost 1400 rpm and seemed to sputter. I went to do a compression check but after pulling the plugs and battery I decided to give it another shot. (Dont ask why I removed the battery... Long and painful story). Anyway. I put everything back and she fired right up and idled at 700.....
BTW... The comp check was due to the thing not starting later when I tried.....
