Re: [DML] High, or "sticky" idle

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) throttle cable/arm getting stuck. Easy to check, when idling too 
high, try pushing on the throttle arm.

2) Idlespeed ecu gone funny - quite common.

Either way, The engine is supposed to idle at 850rpm, not 1000 - 1200 so 
something's not right.
