figured out my bad idle
i remeber just putting up a post, i had bad idle....
i was trying to figure this problem out now for about 3 days, tring every everything i could think of to try and make this happen. i had a high idle, wouldnt stay running well enough to put it in gear without playing with the throttle to keep it up. and dispite being a fuel injected, i had to hold my foot on the the gas to even get it started.
i got mad at it brought it to the local mom and pop shop around here and i had a guy look t it and within the first 30 secs of looking, he found the problem...
the coolent temp sensor had broke off when i was plugging everything back in nd was not really hooked up anymore...
by this happening, it then automaticly tells the computer it is -40* outside, and starts to dump fuel in the motor like its cool.
replaced the sensor, and it was a wrap, fired right up and havent had a problem with it yet.

good deal. somebody posted that same thing a while back. i didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
was your temp gauge working ?
did your mechanic find it with a scanner, or just gut feel ?
