Hello
I have  a 1992 seville sts 4.9
And i have a problem with it  that have come the last 3 days .
 
The engine goes a but unregular on the rews . 
And the last 3 days it loves to stay at 2500 RPM  and is a hell get down to 800 .
And when rews get high the engine service soon lamp turns on and goes off after a while.
It dosent follow the cruse control either,  well if i have set it at 70 km/h  and brake down  to 50   and press resume  it goes as fast as possible up to 70  ( a bit unsmoth sometimes also)   but the engine  still loves  climb over in speed.  u can let the gas be  and dont touch it at all   it still climbs up slowly.
 
Did start the car up today after work  27 degress celsius  varm sunny nice weather   . it  goes fast up tp 2500 rpm   then efter 5 sec   down to 1500   then 3 sec more  1000  . 
But  then when i drive  it is as a typed above  have to keep braking  keep the speed down time to time .
 
This isent a new car  and it is my first American car.  Had it for 1 year now  and like it damn much . 
 
Anyone that can help me what it can be and how to fix this or suggestion what to do or what it can be ?  
 
Have to say  workshops/spareparts isent common here for this "rare car" (i live in sweden)
 
Sorry if my english isent perfect  // many thanx   Stefan

I had the same problem with my 94 seville sls a few years ago. It would go up to 2500 rpm's and would overheat.  I found out it was the idle speed motor. I got mine replaced and the car was fine ever since. Another problem I had too was the engine speed would go up and down, not too much, which was a problem with the computer. I had that replaced too.
 
So I would try the idle speed motor first. Hope this helps.
