1999 Disco I hard start and high idle
#21
The TPS is still low. I adjusted the cables a little since they didn't let the throttle back down all the way and it got me down to about 1300rpm at warm idle. I should have the IAC on Saturday and will get it installed and see what happens. I don't know of any local shops that work on LR, but if the idle doesn't adjust down I will have to start looking. I take it no one has found a way to do a hard reboot of the system to the factory settings without going in and having it done. I hate paying someone to work on my cars.

I'm Just south of Madison Wisconsin.
I changed out the IACV, it's the same issue. I think it must be the computer because I can trick it by unplugging the iacv when its at the right idle, otherwise when I turn it off and back on the idle shoots back up and I have to remove it get the plunger to extend, put it back on and trick it again. It wants to shoot to 2500 and it gets down to 16-1800 when warm. When I tricked it, it ran great, but starts back up like crap when cold.

Even if they can diagnose it you won't be walking out of there with a bill that isn't more than what the truck is worth.
Mad City Rovers used to be an Indie shop in Madison. Clint Paul was the guy's name.

Luckily they only charged me 120 total. They moved the TPS ( it helped with the smoothness, but the idle is still messed up) drove it from the shop to work Idle at 1600. Shut it off turned it back on idle 800. They did tell me that the PCV hose is cracked. They also found the code for the radio. Punched in the code radio turns on.........no sound from the speakers. I am assuming the issue is at the amps, so I am hoping a fuse, but with my luck prob not. Going to replace the PCV and PCV hose. The idle is just odd. When its cold its crap and it stays crap till you shut it off and start it back up. Its like the IACV doesn't adjust while its running only after its been shut off. I don't know I'll replace a few more parts before I drive it off a cliff. I guess this is what I get for a $1500 truck.
