Runaway Rover... throttle sticK?
96 D1, 5speed
My truck has been idling really sporadically and high (between 1100 and 2000rpms, up and down), and it feels like its putting extra throttle on all the time.
It accelerates a lot harder on the highway, and if I just put it in 1st it will act as though i'm pushing the gas... not aggressively, but it's definetley pulling.
I replaced the IACV and cleaned the TB and behavior is the same.
I showed my mechanic, he said he "didn't see any vacuum leaks" (didnt think you COULD see vacuum leaks?) and that the culprit was probably the IACV (this was before I replaced it)
This happens regardless of temperature, hot from a 3 hour drive or cold from sitting out all night.
thoughts?

pedal feels normal... haven't had the valve reset, not sure if there even is a Land Rover dealer in Vermont to be honest
