It is the FI's correct response to that problem. You need to figure out why your idle is too high and correct it. Ignition timing affects idle speed. Intake vacuum leaks cause increased idle speed. Improperly adjusted Throttle Valve Switches can cause high idle speed. The TVS on 68-9 are adjusted by click. Late versions of the 70-71 and 72-3 switches are adjusted by turning the switch just until you feel the switch just come up against, but not past, an internal stop. Early versions of the 70-1 and 72-3 switches must be adjusted with an Ohmmeter or one of the Bosch FI testers.
