Re: Fast idle problem

On my '96 4dr 4.0L ohv automatic, I was having problems with intermittent
high idle after warmup. The problem was caused by a bad engine coolant temp
(ECT) sensor. On my vehicle there are two temp sensors, one feeds the gauge
on the dash, the other (the ECT) feeds the engine computer. Replacing the
ECT fixed the problem.
