Hello,

My mint 88 760 likes to idle around 1400 instead of 750 in neutral, put it in gear and it idles at 750.

I bought a new air idle control valve, I think I threw a good one away for this did nothing. I have cleaned the throttle body and put on a new gasket.

Sometimes it slips down to 750 rpm after running on the road for a while, then stopping, then at the next stop it might stick at 1400, I prefer to put the car in neutral at stops.

I found a new throttle position sensor on e-bay and got it. I know they can stick at times, now I find you have to set this sensor when you put it on. Something about gauging an electronic value or something.

On my old Camry I used to change them and set them by hand until the idle sounded right. They were junk yard units.

Does anyone know what I have to do to put this new Bosch sensor on and set it?
Could it well be my problem?
