Hello all, I'm very green with mechanics and new to the forum. I have an 85 Chevy C10 6cyl 4.3 auto 2wd. I used foam gunk to clean engine. Stupid me did not cover anything. After I was done, I turn engine, but at very high idle. I turn off, took off cover and air filter, sprayed gumout carb cleaner and wd40 to outer linkages ... still too high, dangerous to drive (hard to brake). I ran out of options ... someone help with ideas please!!!
