[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9520&highlight=oil+temperature+sensor]kmoney was having problems with high idle speed and found that by unplugging the connector to the EOT sensor, the idle speed return to normal. However, I couldn't find any post by him to see if replacing the EOT sensor solved the problem.

My Dlx has experienced both high RPM (1,500) and low RPM / stalling - I have posted multiple times on this topic. Unplugging my EOT sensor makes the bike run better than new each and every time. I replaced the EOT sensor and this does NOT cure the problem.
Here's my latest update: My Dlx started with the low RPM / stalling. Condition came and went. Next it started with the high RPM (1,500), which comes and goes. It "seems" to be more prevalent when riding at low speed, and stop and go, 1st, 2nd gear around town riding. Put the bike in the garage when the condition occurs and the next time you ride it ( 1 - 5 days later) it runs fine. Unplugging my EOT sensor makes the bike run better than new. I put over 100 miles on my bike with the EOT unplugged and it ran great. Replacing the EOT sensor does NOT cure the problem - I did this. My low RPM / stalling condition disappeared, but was replaced by the high RPM idle problem. Unplugging the EOT sensor cures both the High RPM and Low RPM conditions - so it seems to me that this eliminates a "sticking" IACV. I tried disconnecting my battery to see if this would reset the computer and this did not help (I only disconnected it for less than 10 minutes though). I replaced my battery last month because it died and I "thought" my idle problem was cured with a new battery - it isn't. Bike ran better than new for first 150 miles. Spent yesterday riding around town, stop and go, 1st and 2nd gear. After about one hour the Low RPM / stalling condition returned - started stalling at every stop light. Brought the bike straight home and unplugged the EOT sensor and it immediately began running perfect again. Plugged the EOT sensor back in and the bike was idling fine - didn't have time to go for a test ride. Problem comes and goes at will. BTW - temperature was cool here, high of about 60 degrees F, so it definitely is NOT a over-heating problem. Please see my next post for additional information.
