That's a symptom of a vacuum leak or an air duct leak between the air filter box and throttle.

SOURCE: I have replaced the throttle position sensor, egr

Check the Idle accelerator valve located on front side of throttle body, it is either stuck or needs cleaning real bad, this is what controls your idle speed, by letting small amount of air in. It has a plunger on it that moves back and forth slowly to adjust amount of air mixture, it is controlled by computer. Unplug it and just turn on key and check for voltage.This valve gets real gummed up, probably need to take apart throttle body and clean. HUNT

SOURCE: I have changed everything: Spark

There are three components that will enrich the fuel mix: 1)engine coolant temperature sensor. If this is not working or the signal is interrupted by a wire breakage then the engine will run rich. The coolant sensor informs the ECU (high resistance) that the engine is cold at start up and so the ECU responds by increasing the fuel injection cycle to enrich the fuel air mix. Later on as the engine warms the resistance of the coolant sensor drops and the injection cycle is reduced by the ECU. If the sensor is faulty or has become disconnected (wire break or corrosion of the socket pins) the ECU assumes that the engine remains 'cold' and the engine runs permanently rich. 2) O2 sensor, operates completely independently of the EGR, if it is faulty and signals 'too much oxygen' then the ECU will significantly enrich the fuel mix to try and balance what it thinks is an excess of air. 3) Fuel pressure regulator. If the diaphragm has broken or there is a leak in the vacuum line this will result in higher than needed fuel pressure in the fuel rail at idle. The vacuum line acts against the spring pressure holding the valve closed. At idle, the inlet vacuum pulls back on the diaphragm reducing the fuel pressure required to open the valve. Low fuel pressure coupled with short duration injection times will mean a lean mix at idle. If the vacuum is compromised or the diaphragm damaged then the increase in rail pressure will make the fuel mix very rich to point of flooding the engine

SOURCE: 1996 isuzu rodeo keeps reading

A misfire alarm typically means the coil pack mounted above the sparkplug indicated in the misfire had gone defective.

To test it, swap the coil pack with another cylinder, and see if the misfire goes from #2 to the cylinder you put it on.

If the misfire continues to be on #2, then consider changing the sparkplugs.

I hope this helps.

1997 Saturn SL-1 idles fast

The ECM maybe stuck, disconnect the battery and wait 5 mins then reconnect.

Other things that normal cause high rpm at idle:
  • PCV hose to throttle body has a leak
  • vacuum line to brake has a leak.
  • the throttle plate maybe dirty and is open partly
  • the IAC is bad. Which is on the throttle body.
  • the throttle plate sensor is bad, just unplug it and see if the rpm goes down. If it does, replace the sensor.
  • the egr value maybe stuck
  • bad front o2 sensor
  • bad coolant senor. You should have this replace since the original sensor where plastic tip and crack. The new ones has a brass tip. the transmission and air( IAT) have the same sensor part.

Cleaned throttle body on chevy 03 1500. Now has high idle about 1200 rpm and surges up and down?

Hi.

Check the following in order:

IAC valve wiring, connectors and vacuum hoses.
Look for vacuum hoses that are not connected in general.
EGR valve wiring, connectors and vacuum hoses.
PCV system.
Wiring to the two sensors in the air intake.
Check position of the air intake for leaks. Tighten its screws.
Check wiring in general.
Do a code scanning if you have not found anything so far, check wiring of ECM and O2 sensors.

If the car idles up and down there may be an air leak from air intake or IAC, EGR, there may be a vaccuum leak or PCV system may be malfunctioning. Those are the things to check first and with more attention.

Regards.

My 1999 rodeo has a throttle position sensor issue .the truck is staying at a high idle i brought and instaled a new sensor it didnt fix the problem how do i resolve? I had a print out done it said open...

There is a mechanism called the Idle Air Control Valve that is bolted to the throttle body with two bolts. It has an electrical connector plugged into the front of it. When that unit started going defective on my 97 Rodeo, sometimes the car would idle at 2500 RPM when the clutch was pushed in. Other times it stall when the clutch was pushed in. At the time (5 years ago) it cost $41 from Autozone to replace.

I have a 88 chevy pickup 1500 with a 4.3 liter engine. I have high idle problem. I would do it once in a while and quit. Now it up and wont idle down. I have new throttle position sensor, map sensor. all...

is the check engine light on ? if it idling high chances are you have a vacuum leak take a can of carb cleaner and spray the egr valve and if the engine rpm changes replace egr valve the throttle body may also be plugged pull the vacuum line off the map sensor start vehicle and see if you have vacuum if not remove throttl body and clean vacuum passage hope this helps

1995 ford escort idle problem

Hi , i have a 1995 Escort with 1.9 4 cyl engine , at cold start the engine revs ok but as it get warmer it start to idle rought and die , with a scantool the o2 sensor always reed lean at idle , after checking fuel pressure , air mass meter , EGR valve , and potential vacuum leak at intake and hoses , its the PCV valve that give me that problem , as i remove the pipe with the valve there was a whissle noise comming from it , when i block the valve at its tip the whissle noise stop the engine revs smooter and the o2 reads normal , i replace the PCV and its idling good .
