High idle bronco II 87

A code 53 "Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage is too high" would cause this. Go to Autozone/Napa/Pep boys & pickup an Actron CP 9087 (or similiar) sensor tester for about 30 bucks & hook it up to the TPS. You will know in about 30 seconds if the TPS is shot. VERY SIMPLE to test it & to replace it if it's bad. The sensor is about 35 bucks at Napa.

Would you believe that when I took the Bronco back to the garage that replaced the engine they left the vapor canister disconnected from a vacuum source. This caused an idle around 1500 RPM. I brought the truck back to the garage and told them to hook the canister up where it belongs, now get this, they hooked the canister to the PCV valve. I could not believe this. The sticker under the hood shows that the evap canister goes to the Throttle Body. I fixed it and now it idles fine.
