Ok guys.
I have just recently installed a DMC stage 1 exhaust. Since before then I had noticed a high idle with my car with a rich mixture. I sort of figured it may have been a plugged cat, which was one of the reasons I replaced my exhaust system. Unfortunately, the problems still exist even after the new exhaust.
When I go to cold start it, it seems to fire immediately but then die if I don't feather the gas pedal. Once it dies, I go to turn the car again and it will turn without fire for about 3-5 seconds, then roar to life. Once it does catch it runs like crap for a couple of seconds and then the idle stabilizes around 1k rpm. Though once I drive it, the idle will never go below 13-15k rpm. I have witnessed the idle throttle micro switch engaged when at idle, I just haven't tested any electrical aspect of the switch.
I have read other high idle threads and tried a couple of things in order to troubleshoot. I have unplugged the throttle control valve, but the idle stayed constant at 13k rpm. I plugged it back in and unplugged the new O2 sensor but with no change in idle as well. it doesn't even appear as thow the lambda system is working at all. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can make sure the lambda system is working, and or how to get this high idle under control?
Thanks for any ideas in advance.
