Subject:      engine revving at idle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Has anyone had this problem?  After my engine reaches operating temp and is
in stop and go traffic, it doesn't fall back down to idle after I accelerate
to move forward in traffic.  It just stays revved at 3,000 rpm or
thereabouts.  Not fun when stuck in traffic.  I'm thinking it has something
to do with the spring on the throttle (maybe needs to be cleaned or
greased?).   I haven't worked on this part of the van yet, so I'm not
familiar with how the accelerator cable hooks up and works in the engine
compartment.


Thanks for any insights!


Mark
