I've asked several ?'s about my 1990 Dodge B250 van and the 41 and 46 fault codes I have.
Everyone seems to think that I have charging issues that are causing the computer to increase the idle RPM's. I thought I fixed this problem when I replaced the coolant sensor, now the start-up idle is fine but the going-down-the-road idle keeps increasing as I drive. It's causing a greater brake effort to stop and when I get to where I'm going and put the transmission in Park the engine just screams.
The answers I have so far are suggesting a regulator problem. Others are telling me that the regulator is inside the computer box (which is mounted to the firewall, under the hood)
Before I spend more money is there a test I can use to confirm this?
NOTE- The battery voltage when the engine is running is between 14.70 and 15.00 volts. That sounded OK to me...Is this not right?
