This seems to be the problem, so I have heard that using the fast idle solenoid with a 12v jumper via a switch will work. BUT you have to push the pedal to allow activation of the pre set RPM and solenoid.
Very easy...
Find a switched power from under your dash panel, run it to a fused switch, then the other side of the switch to the High Idle Solenoid on the Injection Pump... But cut the wire leading up to the high idle solenoid, and install a diode with band side facing towards the solenoid, then land your homemade idle circuit wire there (between the diode and solenoid). This will keep you from feeding power back into the circuit and also keep you from engaging the timing advance when you manual control is engaged. But the system will still function just like stock, ie. no change will be seen or felt.
Diode number is 1N4001 at radio shack I think..

I have been on that idea to use the fast idle selonid, but i want to be able to vary the engine speed over a period of time, i would like to push the idle up to 1200 for 15 min then drop it down to 750 for 10 min or so then push it back up. i allredy have the fss on a togle switch so i can keep it running with out the keys in it, makes it 30 seconds harder to steal with the wheel locked
