A few days ago I cleaned out the throttle body and also cleaned out the AMM with carb cleaner.
It now idles way too high. It also seems to get higher the longer it runs.
Its almost normal when it first starts up and then over time it will eventually get up to an estimated 1500-1800 rpm. (I say estimated because the tach does not work so I truthfully don't know, way to high though)
Does anybody have any ideas as to why cleaning the throttle body, which was rather gunked up, or cleaning the AMM would cause the idle to suddenly jump so high?
I suppose I could have messed the AMM up somehow. I don't think so though, it was just carb cleaner, I was just trying to clean off the temp sensor in there.
It idles high enough that I really dont feel comforatable driving it, it diesels when I shut it off and thats not good for an engine. I've taken to loading it with the clutch right as I shut if off so that it pulls the rpm's down before I kill the engine. That works pretty well but I"m going to be getting some horrible gas mileage if I sit in traffic idleing at 1500-1800 rpm.
An ideas would be welcome, I'm a bit puzzled. Its probably just some simple thing I overlooked or left unfastened. :roll:
