[DMCForum] Re: runaway idle



Hey, I got it fixed thanks to a suggestion from Gary (checksix3).  Somehow
the idle speed thermistor got unplugged.  That's one of those little
sensors
on the y-pipe hidden under the intake manifold.  I thought it was
impossible
to reach that thing without taking the whole intake manifold off, but
after
about 30 minutes of forcing my hand back there and maybe knocking other
things loose in the process, I was able to plug it back on.  It didn't
help
that I had previously gooped it up with dielectric grease.

Now that I can get it to idle, I could see how crappy it runs when cold.
It
might have been because the air/fuel mixture was mis-adjusted due to the
fast idle.  Or maybe I knocked a vacuum hose loose reaching under the
manifold.  I'll let the engine cool down and check all that.
