Default Further information on Ilde issue

Okay - here's what I've done to fix the idle:

- new idle air bypass unit
- new pressure differential unit (fixed check engine light)
- new throttle position sensor
- new EGR valve
- two new O2 sensors (computer diagnostic indicated bad)
- 6 new fuel injectors
- clean throttle body inside and out.
- performed vacuum hose check - no vacuum leaks.
- New engine temperature sensor
- New spark plugs / wires
- New fuel Filter
- New accelerator cable (original was frayed)
- had computer diagnostics ran three times (have a friend with a unit) No faults found.

My personal opinion is the computer is telling the idle air bypass unit to keep the idle up like the old vacuum units did on carburators. The ABS system is telling the computer the wheels are moving but something's going wrong. No Engineer would design a car to idle high indefinitely until the car comes to a complete stop.

Put on your thinking caps and let me know. Thanks,
