HIGH IDLE ?'s
I have an 01 V-10 EX 114K and when I drive it it sometimes will idle around 1200+R's. This is after comming to a stop sign or red light I almost rear-ended someone tonight..............Is this a common thing and are there any easy fixes? I did a search but the results were vague at best!!
Thanks

this sounds stupid but make sure yer not touching the throttle with the side of yer foot when braking. this has happened to me and my dad a few times in our 08 f350's. ya can't even tell yer touching it. but i almost missed a driveway and went into a ditch cuz i couldn't make the turn lol.

haha WAG = Wild A$$ Guess. Anyway, I just thought it might be the Idle Air Control (IAC), but generally, when that fails, the trucks are very difficult to start (Won't idle until warmed up), but this doesn't sound like your situation. Other than that, I'm going to have to defer to more knowledgeable people on this forum. Hopefully it will be something cheap like a dirty MAF or something. :-)
Good luck!!
