    High Idle

    The truck on the first start in the morning actually idles normally at 800 before I put it in gear. It does not start idling high until after I drive it then sit at light.

    High Idle

    98 4.3 5 speed. Lately usually within initial startup, but have noticed after 20 min drives as well. I will pull the truck out of gear at a light, and the rpms will rev up to about 2k for about 5-8 seconds, then fall back down to normal which is about 800. Would this be TPS, or IAC?
