[DML] Re: High idle post tune up

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check that the throttle cable is allowing the linkage to return to the
fully closed (idle) position. You may have move the throttle cable so
that it is not all the way inside the ferrule at the throttle spool.
You should also check the vacuum hose going from the front of the
motor to the metal pipe and then to the vacuum modulator on the
transmission.
