Rising RPM's??
Hello,
I have an 01 I30 with a small problem. It only occurs when the car is warm. The problem is that when the car is warm and stopped at a light or in traffic I notice my rpms a little higher than normal. When I put the car into neutral, the RPM's slowly rise to about 2000 or so almost like a stuck throttle cable. If I shut the car off and put on again while still in neutral, the problem goes away for a few min then happens again when I am stopped.
The RPM's may be higher than normal under acceleration also but the acceleration itself throws me off so I cannot tell if the car is giving more throttle than what I am pressing down on the pedal.
Keep in mind that it only happens when the car is warm and has been getting worse lately. Car has full tuneup, I checked throttle cable, and no codes at all. Car is pretty much stock besides a GAB. Any suggestions?

Does it make a difference whether your a/c is on or not? Try adjusting the throtlle cable; there's a little stopper that you can turn. When I was working on a friend's explorer, I had a similar problem that was intermittent but seemed much more prone to happening when the a/c was on and it turned out this stopper was adjusted too high, pushing the throttle open too much.
