Ecomike said:Generally yes (high idle) but as I recall from my own experience a loose, INTERMITTENT vacuum leak at the throttle body connection hose (rubber peice that fits into the throttle body and attaches to the hose that goes to the MAP sensor) that goes to the MAP sensor can cause your problem.
Also it is not unusual to have two or more problems at the same time partially masking each other making the diagnosis almost impossible and some of the assumptions wrong.
Good suspect. Check the plastic line that goes from the throttle body to the MAP sensor. Perhaps the rubber hose at the MAP sensor is cracked or the rubber double hole connector to the throttle body is loose.
When we did my friends engine install we forgot to replace that line at first and symptoms were similar to yours--but worse.
Besides, its a cheap part to check and you can get a replacement "harness" at NAPA for like $10.
