When in neutral, my 5 speed idles very high, around 18 to 22 on the tachometer. If I tap the gas pedal, it drops to around 7 or 8, which sounds reasonable. Any suggestions? It also has kind of a dry bearing sound. Almost like scraping or something, coming from the engine. I'm afraid to ask... any ideas what this is? I know my muffler heat sheild is warped and frayed close to the water pump. Could that have anything to do with it? -Wayne "Living the Dream!" VIN...11174
