Thanks for your email Jim but I already ran the sequence in the owners manual when you replace or disconnect the battery. I followed and checked every vacuum hose and connectors, all seem OK. I think it is the IAC valve. I had a problem with the EGR system due to pack rats chewing the vacuum hoses a few yes. Ago. All lines were replaced along with a few control valves. This is the first problem ( with the exception of a new fuel pump last year) since all the mentioned repairs to vac lines etc for the egr. Thanks again. Fatboy2002

I ordered one this afternoon. I should have it by 2:00pm tomorrow, AZ time. I let you know what the outcome is after its installed. Also when I took the car for a drive about a hour ago, I put 25 miles on it, it was hard to up shift without really getting on it. As I turned down my street it was doing 35-45mph without touching the gas pedal! What a ride!!!! Thanks again Phatboy2002.

Hello, I am having the same problem with my car. The Idle is high and it won't come down. I just bought it and the battery was replaced about a year ago. It appears as though it has had this problem for a while. I was wondering, what is the sequence for the battery reconnection?
