    Columbia glider 12.7 Ddec 4.
    So I was driving along in ky and it seemed my fuel was not getting to engine? But than it stopped after a bit.
    My make stopped working just a few minutes after this. I wiggled brake and clutch pedal, but did not help.
    Than as I went to turn off onto off ramp in Oak grove, KY, my rpms when out of gear were staying at 1500 rpm on its own. I had to turn off truck and restart engine to park.
    Is this a fuse, or sensor, or ECM issue?
    I am going to unhook batteries and see if that helps. Even right now at high idle set at 1000 it keeps going to 1500 on its own? This is not a dpf truck. And it is a manual 10 speed. Here is the last ecm trip report. The ecm did not have much information as it should have had. Seems fishy.
    I also posted this in the tech forum.

    Take her off cruise see if you get that engine to settle down. If she cranks to 1500 on it's own, slap the #### hammer once. She should settle down.

    I have started engine after battery unhook. And now make a are back ,and idle is holding at 1000. Guess I'll take a go at it.

    Has not happened lately. I do believe it's an programming ecm type issue.
