Hi all,

Today after an hour drive my van decided it likes to idle at very high rpm's.  I
don't have a tach, but it's idling so high that if i let the clutch out in first
gear it'll drive without me pressing the gas pedal.  My first thought was that
the throttle cable or switch was stuck.  I checked, and that wasn't the case.
Where do I go next?  I was looking at the section on setting idle speed in the
bentley, but my suspicion is that the problem is more than just a matter of
minor adjustment.  It happened so suddenly and it's such a drastic difference.
The problem is also sporadic (somewhat).  For a moment today the idle did settle
down, but not for long, pretty soon it went flying back up again.  I was turning
the van off at stop lights because it was reving away so hard.  The van is an 82
aircooled, california model.  The PO removed the idle stablizer, but i've had
the van for three years and that's never been a problem. What shall I do?

thanks all,

greg.
