1st thing to look for is broken, loose, or disconnected vacuum lines. if nothing is found clean your throttle body and change the air filter. if problem still exists have the computer scanned by a reputable auto technician for possible electrical sensor problems or gaskets leaks. a quick easy way of looking for a vacuum leak is to use a can of NONFLAMMABLE parts cleaner and spray a small section of the motor and listen for any changes in your idle. If idle changes that will be the area of your vacuum leak.

Make sure you are shifting it at very low idle speed. Outboards have a built in mechanism to keep owners from shifting at too high rpm and damaging the drive train.


1968 car idle very high when started in park?

Your car will idle high until the engine begins to warm. You could set the idle to be a bit lower, but that may cause the engine to stall out when it's cold out. The engine should begin to lower the RPMs when it is warmed up.
