not sure what doc has said, but have you checked for vaccume leaks? also, you may need to lube the roller shafts on the throttle body, as the butterflies may be slightly open, causing the high idle. listen to rx7doctor, he really knows what he's talking about and will give you great advice! welcome to the club.

Thanks for the compliment.

I sent him into the FAQ's to read up on the infamous Idle problems. Because of the complexity and amount of variables concerning this issue I want him to get a general idea of the system.

Then we can direct him in the right direction to get her fixed.
