Replaced Throttle Body & Kick Down Cable, what now?? 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Cassaro on  Mon Jul 30 13:39 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Since I received those damn long awaited high mileage badges the car has been trapped in the shop. Thought it would be all set tonight with the kick-down cable install (throttle body replaced Friday) but a last minute call from my mechanic has the sled in limbo.

Tells me the car is still running with a super high idle, thinks it's a computor prob of sorts (??). Gotta understand, this guy is like a secret agent man when it comes to getting info before he does a full diagnosis. Can see why, but, it drives me crazy trying to figure the expected cost of repair. He is fair, but moves at his own pace (slow....).

I've read on the FAQ some stuff that may apply (turbo intake manifold gasket. idle control valve thingy, temp. sensor, RPM sensor etc..)

Now I'm confused......

Any ideas to help with my further stress would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike
