Macgyver55 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Several things come to mind including (but not limited to) a vacuum leak, Temperature sensor, Idle Air Control or a Throttle Position Sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givetoget Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 arcticcat 400 I had a 96 chevy did the same thing. In town I almost didnt need to push on gas pedal after it was up to speed it idled so high. If I remember right it was the throttle position sensor. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
