Re: [DML] High Idle

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you have the technical manual, it has a fantastic
"Idle Problem" checklist with all kinds of solutions. 
Unfortunately, this could be a number of things from
the air/fuel screw being off to microswitches not
being functional to the idle thermister not responding
(which, unfortunately was my case...).  If you need
that page of the tech manual, I'd be willing to scan
and send it to you; it's a real hassle saver.  It
could be as simple as a fuse being blown to the
electrical connectors next to the ignition coil
needing a little wiggle and tightening, to the idle
thermister in that wonderful location underneath the
intake m.  I'd start with the simple stuff - check all
fuses and relay, make sure they look good and
functional.  Then hit your idle speed screws near the
throttle - make sure they all are snug and tight:

 Next, check the micro switch as this picture shows -

 Make sure this switch is working as well:

Those are the "basics" more or less.  One thing that
can trip your idle pretty high is the air/fuel mixture
screw being too rich, but that I would think if left
faulty for too long would burn your plugs (richer =
higher idle).

Good luck!
Jeremiah
