code p0507 "rpm's too high" tested the idle circuit for resistance and was well within the guidlines. (55 ohms) sometimes the idle will drop to 500 rpms while in gear but in park...sometimes 700 and sometimes 900-1100. no other codes come up so is my pcm going bad. also.. used to start right up but lately.... it cranks a little before firing up. i'm so frusterated that i'm ready to put a match to the truck

try cleaning the throttle body first,this will cause an idle surge and RPM flucuation.post back with what you find.
