Hey, I have a 98 cobra with the 4.6 DOHC. Recently a problem started becoming worse. When I'm driving, but come to a stop, whether it's permanent stop or slowing down by down shifting...My rpm's stay at higher idle when I put the clutch in sometimes. It could be 3000 rpm or 2000, but it's been starting to happen more lately. Would everyone know how to trouble shoot that. thanks.

Yeah, I was reading previous posts to find the issue. I have a new OEM IAC, which was installed a month ago. Problem just started getting a little worse, it was terrible last night. I could pull out in 2nd or 3rd gear b/c the idles stayed up so high. Maybe its my TPS or MAF, not sure.

So no error codes? Do you have a chip? Have you tried resetting the computer?
