Asked by Easand01 Dec 13, 2017 at 04:52 PM about the 1998 Ford Mustang Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an issue with high idle only after using cruise
control. She’ll idle at 2000 RPM in park after driving
with cruise. When I shut off the engine and restart,
she’ll idle normal again. Any idea where to start?

The cable seems to be free but I'll check it out again. I’m about to go on a road trip with it tomorrow and this just cropped up yesterday evening. Thanks for the info!
