Idiling problem-TPS?

[turbodohc20]

Hi all,

I need some advice with my talon. having idling problems. When I first start the car and drive it around nice and slow it idles fine. After it is warmed up and I get into it a little and stop, the car will adle @ 1200, drive it a little longer and stop will go to 15-1600. Little more and it hits 2000. Drive it arond nice and easy for a while and the idle will work its way back down. My TPS on my pocketlogger normally reads 11 @ normal idle. When it starts idling up it will go to 12 & 13 while idling. My throttle cable isn't sticking. I've tested the TPS using an ohm meter and it checks out OK but I wonder if I'm doing it right. I've heard 3 diff ways to do it. I have a haynes manual and chiltons, they both give diff ways to do it. I used the haynes way. chilton tells me to use the ohm meter on the ECU wires. Can anyone advise as to the best way to do it?

Thanks 4 any help,
Rick

I would clean the throttle body out, and check for boost leaks once you're done. Also, I would clean out all the intake piping, as it could be oily from your PCV valve (I think that's what it's called, little foggy at the moment ). If that doesn't fix the problem, I would definetely try the Chilton manual's check method, as they seem to be the better guide to fixing our dsm's, unless you have the mitsubishi shop manual, that is.

I just finished blocking off the EGR valve and removing all unneeded vac hoses according to: http://www.taboospeedshop.com/emissions.htm. and replaced all others. No leaks. Removed throttle body, cleaned it, checked ISC and TPS with ohm meter. No luck there. I think there must be some air sneaking into the throttle body somewhere, I don't think its electrical. I'm going to check TB O rings tomorrow.
