Idles Way Too Fast

Post by WD0AFQ »

03 gt. Having a problem with it idling way too fast sometimes. The thing will idle @ 1800 rpm. Sometimes popping the pedal helps and sometimes it does not. The throttle body cable seems to be pulling all the way back but it still idles way too high. Some days it never does it and somedays it happens all day long. Anyone else have this problem with a gt?Thanks,dan

Are the linkages on the throttle body binding or slow? How about the throttle cable? Vacuum leak?
