oh, third... dang. the post said first... which is it?

i know ours did something similar <you had to back off the throttle a little to get it to shift in OD> but it wasnt that high. i agree, reset your TV cable, and see if that does anything.

TV cable is the place to start but might also want to check for a TPS that read too high. This will also raise thee idle.
