    Sometimes my truck will be idling higher than 1K, more like 1.5K

    Ya in cold weather I think they are built to idle higher. I've had mine idle as high as 1800RPM off of a cold start. It idles lower after it warms up I find.

    My '98 did this but I had the CEL come on.

    Figured out it was the throttle position sensor.

    Replaced it and it worked just fine.

    I normally idle (warmed up) around 750-800 rpms... when it was all screwy it was idling at around 1500-1600 rpms. Very noticeable difference.
