Hi guys, I just joined & this is my first post. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I don't know what to trouble shoot next. Here's what I have done so far:
Rebuilt computer with new caps.
no air/vacuum leaks.
just passed Cal smog, so idle, EGR, O2,Cat converter etc are all good.
CEL is not stuck on & it gives me DTC 12 when I put jumper in fuse box.
Tested TPS & it is in spec.
new cap/plugs/wires/rotor/filters/fluids.
So, when the headlights or heater fan are turned on, the computer increases the idle & there is a clicking sound from the TBI. I think this is either the Injector or the IAC.
My guess is there is a voltage regulator somewhere that is not giving the computer the correct constant voltage.
if there is, can I replace it or is there a pin on the computer I can feed a constant 5 or 12v to so it doesn’t know the lights/fan are on?
My car has the early gold computer.
The IAC is facing the passenger side, not the front of the car as in the pic at

With the heater & lights off, this is an excellent running,reliable 4x4-Thanks for your help!
