Hey guys, I got my hands on a Fresh 4.0 with just over 100k so this engine is NO where near the end of it life, and it been well maintained . Just got the swap done, but it idling a little high, not when i first start up but once I give it some gas it wants to stay up around 1k RPM, at first it wanted to stay at 2.2k RPM but I messed with the idle controller to get it to idle at normal RPM range, but like I said once you give it gas it wants to stay at 1k. Also, when I'm cruising everything fine but when I put it in neutral while driving the RPM drop and shut back up 2 or three times, then it stays at 1k RPM. The Engine has E3 spark plugs, could these "advanced" spark plugs cause this? Going to try cleaning the MAF and switching out spark plug wires, spark plugs, and ect.. tomorrow just looking for some ideas that i might not be thinking about. Any advice is much appreciated thanks.
