If it is idling really high, look down in the throttle body and see if you can see a small part of the intermediate gasket on the throttle body that has been sucked inside. This will cause a vacuum leak and the ECM is compensating with more fuel. More fuel and more air equals more rpm's.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
