Post High idle question

Today for some strange reason, my engine was staying at high idle, even after warming up to normal temp. A couple of months ago, I replaced the idle air bypass valve with a new one, so I can't think why it is doing this. Anyone els have this problem?

Paul, If you cleaned the throttle body while still on the truck, the solvent will destroy the gasket at the runners and manifold. If not, check the voltage at the idle air.

Well, I hooked the code reader to it this evening andit is giving me fault codes for the Throttle Position sensor, knock sensor, Thermactor, and "Loss of tach signal"??? I figured the TP sensor was on its last legs, so I'll check it tomorrow.

I had the same problem.... I finally found that the upper intake manifold gasket was sucked into the intake.... I found this by spraying (of all things) carb cleaner at the joints, while the engine is running, if you notice the change, you have found the leak....
