87' NA w/ 140000 miles apx.

Ok... when I start my car.. it will idle at about 1500... it will stay that way until I start driving it.

Once I start driving... the idle goes up and up and up.

By the time I made it to my buddies house last night, it was idling at 4500 rpms. It would drop down when I put it in gear and all.. but every stop light.. 4500 rpms.

First experience in my 7 with cruise control that I don't have... so I guess it wasn't all bad.

Any ideas? I was thinking the rod from my throttle down to my omp was getting stuck somewhere? Any other ideas. I did do a search and will clean it up a bit, and unplug my bac.. but really don't think that's the problem.

no idea but this needs a bump

yeah i'd say your on the right track. first thing i'd check for is something keeping the throttle stuck open, like the cable or omp rod. on my car I removed the secondary throttle plates and then the primary throttle was being stuck open. I had to dremel some linkage stuff to get it to shut all the way. if thats not it, then start checking other stuff

good luck

Figured it out.

On the rear of the tb, there is a bell looking thing that was unscrewing itself when I would drive.

It's on the passenger side of the tb.

Anyways... screwed it back in... put a nut on it... good as new.
