Well, I just got my new motor broke in...it was surging at first all the time, so I tightened down the TB screw all the way and it quit....but it was idling kind of high, like 1400-1700. Then yesterday, I took my car on some back roads and got some air and some negative g's on some corners...but now my car is idling at like 2400-2700 and it pulls the car...like I have it on cruise control. Most of the time a car will slow down if you quit pushing the gas pedal, not mine...it keeps pulling at 2400-2700rpm...so I think my idle is sticking. What could cause that?



I have the PFC and it is set at 1050 for idle, but it never has idled that low...but this is insane. Is it my TPS? IAC? etc....I just want to fix it, it caused my car to run into a curb today when I was pulling in to park, I am used to it slowing down, and it just kind of zoomed forward and *bam*, fucked my front end all up...so now it is really pissing me off since I just put that front end on a few months ago and only drove with it on for 2 weeks now.



If you can help, please do...if you have questions, please ask.



Thanks,

Scott

I've had the stupid cruise control cable stick before and hold the throttle open like that. Either adjust it or disconnect it.
