My vote is the idle speed thermistor. Meter across pins 9 and 11 on the idle ECU (behind the driver's seat under the drivers side parcel tray) if the circuit is open, you either have a loose connection (likely) or a failed thermistor (unlikely). The thermistor and connector are under the intake on the Y pipe. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@...> wrote: > > Check to see if the throttle cable unwound and is not "in the groove" > on the throttle spool.
