Title: Fast idle, really fast
Post by: chuckd on February 17, 2011, 07:52:50 AM
Good morning:

Catching up on a couple of items from my trip.  On the way home my fast idle, became really fast.  As soon as I flipped the switch it climbed up to about 700 to 800 rpm and then kept on going, all the way up to about 2000 rpm before I shut her down.  It will consistently do this, any thoughts about why?

Our new house is about 5 miles from your bus. I will be around this weekend if you need any help. Like Clifford said, you wanna get this figured out quickly because it can lead to serious issues.

Come over and visit sometime,
