    Causes of high idle and idle surge...?

    I assumed it was vacuum related, but haven't found anything. It idles high and surges on occasion. Ideas?

    the surge could be from the TPS sensor not reading properly...It could be bouncing from 0-5% and causing it to surge. You got anyone handy with HPtuners to plug it in and check it, or a scan tool..

    0507 which I believe is a generic "high idle" or some such thing.

    Your pot stash catch on fire? That might be the cause of your "High Idle"

    what about 02s? Definitely have Virgil hook up to it and see what the sensors are putting to the PCM.
