In the morning when i first start up my car it will idle at about 900 rpms. Which i feel is about right. after i have been driving my car around for a little while it will start idling at 2000 rpms or sometimes even greater. Anyone know what this problem is.

Does the idle jump around or is it always, approximately 900 rpm and then later on always, approximately 2000 rpm?

Maybe check ignition timing?

I tried to track down an idle issue for a long time, I ended up having to loosen one of the cables comming out of the box on the firewall just alittle, the right cable if I remember right. But have you tried checking the simple things like the isc/faiv and vac leaks?

Its at about 900 when i first start it, then after driving, it stays around 2000. Timing was just done a few days ago. vac is good. Ill take a look at the cables tomorrow. But i think its more in the computer, because its not like it sticks or anything. I tried lifting the pedal and it didnt seem to help any.

I figured it out. Just a sticky cable. Just a little Knock Er Loose on it and its all better.
