IDLE WOES

My 302 was doing the same thing, and for me a little white lithium grease on the linkage at the throttle body did the trick. Also you might try try taking your throttle cable loose at the throttle body, then operate the throttle by hand and see if your idle stays down. if it stays down the problem is probably in the pedal or cable. Hope this helps
