Re: high idel (Mike17)
check to see if your throttle cable is adjusted too tight. i recently learned it must by adjusted WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. otherwise, when the engine is off, the dashpot pushes the throttle open a bit, so if you adjust it then, it will be too tight.
but how high? if its like 3000rpm high, then you probably have a vac leak, either a bad vac hose or cracked intake manifold gasket.

if you took the throttle cable off....make sure you check your TPS voltages, cause that will really screw with your idle!
