    Default High Idle (3000+) on PFM

    Hey guys. I'm getting a high idle around 3k on my PFM since having removed and reinstalled my injectors. (had them cleaned) I made sure they were installed correct and location right along with wiring. Sprayed around the manifold with carb cleaner to check for vacuum leak as well. If I force the throttle closed beyond the stop (move it less than 1/16") it will idle down to around 1500 but I never touched the throttle assembly when removing manifold to do injectors. Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? I'm not a Rotary guy so any help would be great. Thanks!! -Kevin

    -it's a 4 injector engine btw

    15.7%. I think that's what causing issue. The head of a zip tie was wedged in the throttle pedal pivot causing it not to fully close! I will start it tomorrow to confirm.

    Thanks Mikey!

    If that turns out not to be the problem, have you tried backing off of the set screw under the throttle body until the dash reads "0" at idle and re-tighten?

    Glad it was something simple! The amount of data these cars collect is really great to be able to pinpoint running problems.
