High RPMS
Gentlemen
I have a 1994 Ranger XLT with a 2.3L engine with a 5 speed manual overdrive transmission. I bought this truck 6 months ago and when I got it, in between shifts the engine rpms would not drop off. Now the problem is getting worse! When I drive down the street the trucks goes 30 miles per hour without my foot on the gas pedal. Once the truck warms up sometimes the rpms drops down to were it should be. But at other times it does not. I would apprecate any help.
Thanks Jim

sounds like the throttle cable is out of adjustment or bent or binding on something. check the throttle cable where is is connected to the fuel injector bore where the hose from the air filter is connected to the fuel injector bore (looks like a carb.).
the cable may also be stuck on something. It should be fixable without a lot of money involved.

I had a similar problem earlier this winter on my '92 4.0L. When putting the truck in drive or neutral, the engine would race to ~3000 RPM and when in gear would cruise down the road all by itself. A recently replaced (and mis-adjusted) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) was the culprit. Reset it to 0.90 VDC and things have been fine since.

Thank you for all your help with the high rpm problem. The problem is now resolved. I replaced a bad Throttle Position sensor (TPS) and also a bad IAC solinoid.
It goes to show you that fellow truck people like to help each other out!
Thank you again
