Consumer Description
HIGH IDLE, TRUCK WANTING TO RUN ON AT A HIGHER RPM WHEN SHIFTING. IDLE NOT DROPPING DOWN BETWEEN SHIFTS. EXCESSIVE HIGH IDLE WHEN IN SECOND GEAR GOING DOWN AN INCLINE, WHEN MOTOR SHOULD BE AT IDLE SPEED. DANGEROUS ON SNOW/ICE WHEN YOU USE THE ENGINE TORQUE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE A IAC (IDLE AIR CONTROL) ISSUE, COMPUTER CONTROLLED. HAVING WORKED FOR A FOREIGN CAR COMPANY FOR 16 YEARS AS A DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER, I FIND THIS AN ODD PROBLEM, AS THE COMPUTER KNOWS THE CAR IS WARMED UP, BUT CONTINUES TO HOLD THE IAC VALVE OPEN, CAUSING A HIGH IDLE. IT APPEARS TO BE A CONTROL (COMPUTER) ISSUE. *TR
