    I have a 07 T800 that I run a rolloff trailer with. I use the high idle constantly to speed up the hydro pump. Lately the high idle turns off on its own for no reason. Sometimes the high idle cuts out many times while I’m running the hydros. Can’t figure it out. The cruse control has never acted up while driving down the road. Just the high idle. I’m lost and looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance!!

    Clutch switch, park brake switch, service brake switch could all be intermittent culprits.

    Wouldn’t all those things also affect cruse control. Using cruse control hasn’t been an issue. Just high idle.

    Would all those things also affect the cruse control?? The cruse control works with no issues. Just high idle.

    Yes they would. Jakes too.

    I might be looking at plugging to the ECM for a fault code read out, in case there was a parameter affecting the high idle.

    Something is kicking it out.

    Sorry I don’t have any better ideas.

    Certainly post the solution for future reference if you resolve it.
