3rdgen 305 engine engine running to fast on idle

Hey
My engine works fine , no fault code but after a 30 min drive the idle speed change from 600rpm to 1250 rpm The only «fault» i found is the electrical actuator on the carburator is active an push the speed arm I remove the wire to the actuator and the idel speed change to 600rpm. What is wrong ,and what do i need to replace. Looking forward to any advice
Cheers
Per Norway

IIRC, that solenoid is relay activated by the ECM, likely has something to do with the A/C being on.

Re: 3rdgen 305 engine engine running to fast on idle

Which part of the A/C system does activate the solanaid on the carburator (switch ? Or sensor ?)
Please spesify and i will check it out
when the engine was running i does not use A/C But may have the fan running .i.e heating (it is low temp in Norway now9

Re: 3rdgen 305 engine engine running to fast on idle

I have no idea if this diagram is correct or not. It looks like the throttle kicker is active on cold start until the ECM enables the relay. Which puts the idle kicker under control of the A/C system:

I have now CHECKED And the reason for 1250 RPM IS use of A/C
