Hi List I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I've tried everything I can think of. My '91 idles fine when cold but when it's warm it goes up and beyond 1K. I also have an original 40K mile car, which, of course doesn't have this problem. I have been systematically swapping all of the suspect components as follows: idle stabilzer valve, relay unit (behind the right tail light), air flow meter, throttle body, ECU, distributor as well as replacing the throttle cable, and still, the problem persists. I godda be missing something, but what? All I can say is, if I shut it off and restart, it returns to normal until I drive again for a while. Also, I can put on the brake and slowly let the clutch out while in gear until it goes down to normal and it will hold that way until I drive for a while. And sometimes if I drop the accelerator pedal suddenly, it will return to normal....nworble? Could there perhaps be a problem in the vast and sometimes, I think, vascuous vacuum system? Anybody with similar probs.? They're all unique, I know. Cheers ROB
