Hi Joel, Nope. Mind you, I haven't looked too hard either -- it doesn't prevent me from getting where I'm going! My best guess right now (and I do mean a guess), in no order: -vacuum leak -flakey idle switch -flakey idle computer I get high idle (1800 rpm) on first start-up and it stays above 1000 for several minutes. I also get ~1800 rpm idle very occasionally when driving with warm engine too. I checked for click noise from idle switch, cleaned contacts on idle computer, and checked for buzzing from idle air bypass. Also when I unplug idle air bypass, idle speed goes down so it's definitely related to the idle circuit! Is this what's happening to you?
