Re:high idle

I can't help you with any advice, but you might consider re-posting this in the HELP! forum...runaway can be serious.

Or you could email/PM a moderator and have them move it.

Pump trouble

I'd get that pump into a shop right away. If the governor section goes away, your rack could go wide open with no way to shut it down. Something in there has changed, or it wouldn't have hung up. It also wouldn't have responded to your backing off the springs. Sometimes its best to let the pump specialists fix it. MHO, anyway...
