Subject:Re: Cold weather issue - super high idle

Check, throttle position switch adjustment.  Test switch electrical
operation.  If the switch is good, then most likely the idle control unit
needs to be repaired.  We can do that for you for $225.  I have a nice
video on YouTube about the throttle position switch.  Search for that and
you will see it.
