[DML] Re: High !dle 3000 RPM!

["Sean" <sweitzel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
