Re: high idle speed

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Check the throttle linkage and be sure when it is at or returning to 
idle that the idle micro switch is clicking. Sometimes it is just on 
the edge or the cable has some slight drag and it doesn't hit the 
switch "smartly". Also check at WOT (wide open throttle) that the 
pedal isn't hitting the floor, the linkage at the pedal bends if the 
cable has too much drag and when it bends you can't get full travel. 
You should have the throttle recall and the cable lubricated with 
anti-freeze! Look in the owner's manual and review starting procedures 
for a cold and a hot engine.
