Re: high idle need help plz!!!!!!

did you set the throttle position sensor correctly, and what about the timing. also you can check the codes for the engine light yourself place a paper clip or a wire between the a and b slots on the aldl conector under the dash and count the number of times the engine light flashes. ground the plug but dont run the car with the aldl grounded just turn the key to the on position.

Re: high idle need help plz!!!!!!

Sounds like a vacuum leak, I used to have a 'bird with a 2.8L and the upper plenum "cover" was always leaking (I had to continuously tighten the bolts on top of the plenum). Spray carb cleaner in and around the intake, if the rpms increase (even more) then you found your leak.

Good luck.
