Bob,
Well, it doesn't take a whole lot of air for an
engine to rev to 5k+ rpm without load, so the
possibility of air leaking around the throttle plate
is still the most likely. If pinching off the hoses
to/from the idle stabilizer doesn't do anything, then
maybe check to be sure that your throttle is closing
all the way. I know it sounds simple, but that's one
thing.
There has to be a leak somewhere since without the
idle stabilizer, there's no real way for the
engine/computer to increase the amount of air its
getting otherwise. And, to free rev to over 5k, there
has to be some air getting past the throttle. I doubt
manifold leaks would be doing it since that would let
in false air not measured by the computer and would
tend to lean out the mixture which really wouldn't
make the engine rev like that.
You may need to actually lay hands on it to fix it!
Regards,
Ben Pender
