Could be a T/B adj. problem or a TPS gone bad..mine did that on the Cobra, and it was the TPS. Just an idea. [patriot]

i actually checked my cobra today and it idles at a bit over 1k rpm... will there be any damage if i just leave it like that? its only when i start the car up...after driving for a bit the iddle in neutral goes down to .5k or so.
