2001 Gt High Idle When Warm

Based upon your symptoms likely you have an unstable TPS signal. Check out the following post: Note the part about HOW the TPS signal works in a "ratch" function.

Note that does NOT necessarily mean that the TPS is bad. How do I know? Because the symptoms change after the motor is turned off. Resetting the motor causes the PCM to re-learn a new ratch value.

What could cause your problem? Some examples include:

• Loose or noisy TPS.
• Loose or binding throttle linkage.
• Throttle body idle stop screw set soooooooo low that the TB linkage is not resting on the stop.
• Possibly the most important!!! Weak or missing throttle linkage return spring. Note there should be two.
• After market throttle body installed without correctly setting the TB idle stop screw.

In sort, the TPS value does not matter. What does matter is that the TPS produces the SAME value EACH time the throttle is closed.

I gave you a list of "possibilities" the check. It may be a NEW TPS, but if the the electrical connection is dirty it could create the same result. Just like IF the TPS is loose inside the mounting, this could cause the symptom.

IMO what's most important is for you to have an understanding of HOW the PCM uses the TPS signal to control the idle. This gives the best chance of resolving the problem.
