Q: High idle after cleaning throttle body while on vehicle
After using approved throttle body cleaner to clean the throttle body while on truck the idle is high after warm up. I understand the vehicle runs at high idle on warm up but this issues is, if placed in park and rev the engine it will stay around 2000 rpms and very slowly work its way down to a height than normal idle. I have changed if the throttle position censor and still having to same issues.
