Hanging idle only after WOT? This is a pretty wierd problem tha I really can't explain. It basically involves a hanging idle after going WOT.
The car idled fine when I first started it up, and it seemed like everthing was normal. After going WOT, the rest of my (15 minute) drive home the idle hung around 1300-1400 RPM. After shutting th car off I went out to see if it would do it again or if it was a fluke. Well, it did it again. So I parked the car since I didn't have time to mess with it. I went back out later in the evening with the laptop to see what was up, but it wouldn't do it again.
Is there anything relating to temps that could cause this? The only thing that changed was air temps, so I can't help but think its related. My car is a 98 running in SD.

no sir. Just moved the numbers around until I was happy. There is a fine line between stalling, perfect, and hanging. Be patient with it.

Sounds like might be in the throttle cracker and the desired idle speed being to close to the maximum idle RPM.

I spent about 30 minutes screwing around with it last night trying to make it do it again, and I still couldn't recreate the problem.
I guess at this point I'll consider it a fluke, but I hope it does it again so I can figure out wtf was going on with it.
