Re: 199? 2.2 high idle when hot

If I can add one thing . I had to break an old habit of applying throttle when starting. With ?the new rebuild , I noticed how each time the initial higher revs approx 2k RPM dropped to 1k more quickly . I?Agree that cleaning the throttle body with a couple of cans of carb cleaner , some disposable harbor freight mini brushes over a long afternoon is very satisfying .?

Well, I am no expert here, but EVERYTHING in Throttle Body, IACV, cable linkages....needs to be very clean.? Only takes a few hours to make this happen, and it is satisfying work.? When you do all this cleaning, the ECU is temporarily confused....it has been adjusting to dirty things for a long time...but with time the ECU is designed to recalibrate itself.? So that takes more time and cycles, like 20 startup/shutdown cycles.? But it will happen.? But components all need to be clean as a whistle to give ECU a fair chance.

How hot does it need to get,,,

Starting out it idles fine.? Idles high after a highway run?

How high is idle when high,,,

2,000-3,000 rpm

Would it be correct to assume You have checked for sticky throttle,,,

Yes and not to the level of disconnecting the cable and push/pulling the cable by hand through housing.? I'm fleet confident it is not a sticky cable.

To double-check, next time it happens I'll verify there is slack in the throttle cable at idle and manually move the throttle cam to ensure it is in closed position and report back.
