Really high idle

[max]

Doc you are correct, which is why you suggested this, i came up with a more precise description on how to do this test and it is still worth doing.
In this case i also remembered the case of the mis-aligned pin in the tps connector and brought it up as a possibility.

However if Gordo states" It started immediately at 1500rpms and creeped into the the 1700 rpms as the motor heated up. " ( post# 74 )

As opposed to:

" For giggles I unplugged just the iacv and fired up the bike and it was straight up 1750 rpms, just as it was with the iacv plugged in. Then I unplugged the plug on the left side on the penlum marked Keihen and that brought it down to the 1050 rpms. " ( post#70 )

I am just interpreting this as -and left the iacv unplugged when i disconnected the tps connector--

Which means;
1 the iacv did not move. ( disabled )
2 the engine ecu made a decision.
3 the tps was involved and the cause of this decision ( ecu strategy )
4 the tps appears to have been connected according to the ecu.

So short of Gordo confirming his iacv acts as in the video i made of the iacv moving in post # 107 and checking the tps voltage we are in iacv with new part number replacement territory.

Hope i interpret this correctly by collating all the replies and nobody gets frustrated by the lack of progress.
