Emergency!! Excursion won't hold idle
Trying to get back home today from a trip and went outside to start up the Excursion and it won't hold an idle. It does start, but requires a constant mashing of the gas peddle to keep running. I have a jet chip in that was in the truck when I got it, about 45 days ago. I guess my first step is going to be taking that out. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will have the wife keep an eye on the board while I take out the chip.
Stranded in Greensboro.

I have the Jet Chip out. I hooked up the battery afterwards and the problem was still there. I am letting it sit disconnected right now and going to try hooking the battery back up in a few minutes.

Not sure if it was the chip or what but it's up and running. I'll be getting into the dealership soon for an oil change and have it checked out now that the chip is out.
On the road again.
