OK, the saga continues, today I took the afternoon off and went & played golf, gave me something else to think about besides how I extract my car from the present hostage situation(with the meter running as they say in taxi land).
Seems that the temp sensor replace did not solve the problem. Although the sensor was out of range on the "hot" side, the new one did not solve the super high idle prob. According to my "Dali Lama" mechanic, he checked out the idle control motor & all related vacuum hoses. When I asked what's left, he stated that "cars are strange things", no sh##!
I very calmly informed him that we are going on 7 days & that the "shuttle" act of getting my wife & myself to work & back was beginning to wear thin & that my wife's love for my car was quickly heading south.
He thought it was pretty good that I was not yelling & screaming like others before me. Why bother? Not his fault that I was a dumb a## & bought a car (turbo all of things) without having someone of knowledge check it out. Live & learn once again.
With that said, the "major dude" said he may try & fly back to the shop tonight when things are quiet & run a full diog on the ECU. I think he is getting sick of my car taking up valued space at his shop.
At least one more day & a prayer that it is something stupid & cheap. I doubt it given my luck so far!! Into it for, throttle body replace, kick down cable & temp sensor. The only thing left that would cause me to consider "General P" like activity would be a fried ECU @ a cost of who knows what!!
Peace & Happy Motoring for those with a car that runs.
Regards,
Mike
