    Exclamation Weird idle problem

    Hey guys

    been having a bit of a weird problem with my ute, it only happens sometimes like it did it 2 days ago hasnt done it again until today

    when i go to start it up the revs go to just under 1400 and keep going higher and higher, ive check alll hoses for a leak there all fine, it has a mace 69mm tb with a delco tune to suit, the IAC has been cleaned spotless

    i was thinking maybe it mite be an ecu problem, i was going to disconnect the battery for a while n see if that fixes it, but like i said before it only does it sometimes warm or cold doesnt matter, also i have to shut it off cus it keeps reving higher then i start it again and its fine, only once after starting it again it did it

    anyone have an idea whats going on? its got me stumped

    thanks guys

    Could be a BCM fault or a faulty TPS.

    Did you clean or take the TB off recently?

    Or has this started out of the blue?

    it doesnt do it in Neutral either only in park, im leaning more towards the senors on the tb, are they expensive to replace?

    Maybe just try the Throttle Body Positioning sensor first.
    With the IAC have you made sure it was put back in with less than 28mm from base (Where the screws go through) to tip?
