Default High Idle (3000) rpms

My idle is really high... like 3000 rpms.. when It starts it starts decent then jumps to 3000 rpms real fast. I have replaced the maf and tps... can anybody tell me any other ideas that I might want to try. Thanks

Probably a vacuum leak. Check the vacuum lines around the intake (there are several). If you need help call me at 867-5309.

Also clean your t/body and lube your cable to make sure they are not causing your high idle.

t4 is needed to adjust it properly, but it shouldnt cause anything that dramatic, it sounds like a sticking idle air valve to me

The last sentence in my previous post was a joke in reference to your user name.
