I searched, but dont think I knew what I was searching for [right][snapback]349497[/snapback][/right] idle speed should be 700rpm for 96 mt st, the IAC (idle air control valve) could be faulty. remember that idle speed varies depending on electric load. turn off all electric accessories and see if it is still idling high. if so disconnect IAC and check for proper resistance between terminals. for 96 the accepted range is 17-24.5 ohms. --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
