newsoobdude Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Went up to Bear Reservoir today to do some fishin. Here's a few pics of the trip. Water level was rather low. Elevation of 6,000 feet or so. Never took the 86 that high up and had an interesting experience. The idle jumped up to around 3k rpms up around 5500ish. Thought something broke but when bake down to regular elevation idle was back at 750 . Had a blast and my neighbor caught a 16 inch German Brown.

Rooinater Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 interesting, i've never had my idle get higher at higher elevations... easier to stall and power loss, but never a weird idle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor thought I might have bent the accelerator rod (?) due to the fact that the throttle actuator would not return to "stock position". We thought it was the cable binding but realized it was good to go. It was still a fun trip and the car's idle is back down to 750 as I said, so....... I'll take her up again next week or 2 maybe and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
