[Diy_efi] Out of the blue high idle

Ok I replaced the TPS and the IAC and it didn't fix the problem. What was
interesting is when I drove it to the store to pick up the parts the idle
seems to have fixed itself after the motor warmed up a bit (say 15 minutes
of driving). If I let it cool all the way down (say 2 hours) the problem
comes back. More ideas? Any parameters I should check with ALDL?

When the TPS fails, the new carbon track becomes the "auto zero" point. You
then end up with a high idle when the throttle is at rest. Replace your TPS.
