I think that may be where I'm headed. This morning I went out to fire it up after changing the oil. Did the same thing. Jumped to high idle by itself. No vacuum or intake leaks that I could see or hear. I did however, tightly cover the exhaust with some old rags--Idle dropped down and stayed there until I removed the rags and revved it up some. Then it went back up. After warmup it quit doing that, but still was running high. I then revved it up and it came down. I didn't ride out at all, but yesterday, while on the road, it would be doing it intermittantly. Up down up down. And still, when idling high, exhaust is quieter than when idling slow. Noticeably. Strange. Almost sounds OE, and it's a HD torpedo with baffle out. (Virtually a straight pipe)
OF--I wasn't personally in there. I had the head gasket rechecked and fixed at the dealer. (There was a broken head bolt, dating back to the "blown head because of no oil" incedent)
