my truck is retarded...
ok so recently my truck has been acting wierd. wenever i start it, it shoots up to about 3000 rpm then settles right down to about 1000 at idle. i didnt really worry about it cuz its been running fine otherwise. but tonite, it didnt settle. it wouldnt go any lower than 3000rpm! and it was wierd cuz i didnt even have to give it gas and i would accelerate. all i had to do was let out the clutch and it would go. any clue as to wut the hell is wrong with my truck? its like my throttle is stuck open or something...

I too would say to look at the IAC first. If that checks out.. change the temp sensor **that the PCM uses**. (not the one for the guage)
I would have never guessed a temp sensor to cause such a high idle. But it happened to me on a saturn. Stupid car would idle at 2700 rpms (manual tranny)

ok so earlier i unplugged my iac and the rpm still shot up... so i unplugged it and cleaned out the connection. it didnt fix it. i went to work, came home. it was still acting wierd. then just now i went to taco bell and it starts acting completely normal. the thing hasnt started normal in months. wtf? AND a check engine light came on wen it started acting normal... im sooo confused.
