[Shotimes] 89 SHO Idle Issues - Help Please

[kickinsho]

Hi Mike,

Did you recently replace the clutch?  The reason I ask is because this same
type of thing happened to me and the culprit was the cable connected to the
cruise got caught when all was put back together.  Easy fix according to
Doug at Performance Plus in Madison who fixed it for me.

Hope this helps,
Kris
