ARAP High idle after trip
Around town I have had no problems whatsoever with the chip, car idles & runs better than ever.
Drove to St Ignace this weekend for a car show, about 230 miles from where I live. I am using a slightly modified ARAP Bin.
After my trip we get off I-75 and I notice that the idle is up to 750 instead of the 600 that I set it at. I shut the engine off & restarted, same thing 750 RPM. We found a nice place to watch the morons cruise the street.
In the morning it started fine and idled at the set 600 RPM. After my trip home it was still ok at 600 RPM.
any ideas to what happened??

If and when you start playing with the IAC stuff you'll see how sensitive it can be.
I have an easy to reach switch connected to the orange memory wire, so that if something like that happens I can also clear the memory.
