High Idle



I found the source of my high idle last night and thought I would pass it on.
For those who don't recall, when I would start the car it would idle at ~2500.
If I unplugged the idle stabilizer it would drop to ~1100.  The car was running
lean.  I wanted to check the "closed throttle" switch so I pulled the throttle
body.  The bracket that is supposed to push that switch touched the switch but
did not cause it to close/open.  Minor adjustment and put it back together and
all is great!  One important note: replace the throttle body gasket.  This may
be where my lean condition was coming from.  I'll let you know.
