Default High idle question
So got a question after a good day long ride and the old girl running great all day i was getting pretty twisty with the throttle the last couple miles home when i got home she was idling pretty high hook up the pc to the power commander and it says that the throttle is resting at 45% nothing seems stuck and works as it should was wondering if anyone else has had this issue only thought i had was that maybe i broke the throttle positioning sensor but im no mechanic oh and its a 2003 road king classic efi thanks in advance
