[DML] Re: fast idle



You have an air leak somewhere. A common place to start is the cold 
start pipe. Make sure it is in and the "O" ring is still there. Make 
sure the throttle plates are closing all the way, the 3 brass screws 
are lightly seated, the hoses to the idle motor are on tight and not 
leaking. If any work has been done lately on the motor go back over 
it, maybe you knocked a vacuum hose off somewhere. Make sure that a 
floor mat isn't preventing the gas pedal from retuning all the way to 
idle.
