I believe there are two fast idle cam valves in this vehicle.Only been several years since I've repaired one. One for the winter and the other for the summer. Your gonna need the shop manual to determine which one is which and where they are located. Now you said its fine "cold" so its the summer one. Short a shop manual what I would do is they are probably on the fire wall as close to the throttle body as possible. There should be two small philips on top of each one holding down a small plate. One at a time remove the screws and plate clean them out with a rag dipped in carb cleaner then squirt a drop of oil in one of them and close it up. Start the vehicle let it run and see what happens. If the symptom goes away you found your culprit now replace it. If it didn't work do the same on the remaning valve and see what happens. Again if the symptom relinquishes its the one you have to replace.The fix for these valves is replacement the squirting of the oil trick doesn't last that long. Good luck

High idle benz 190e

Could be a defect in the ECU. But 1000rpm is not that high my cars normal is 1000rpm. but some older models were about 700rpm
The AC rise is normal. You may want to have a OBD II check by your garage or you can buy a unit to do this. It will scan the sensors fitted for any problems.

Fuel injection

The most common causes for "idle hunt" is a dirty throttle body or faulty idle air control valve. The computer uses the control valve to regulate idle speed.
There could also be a vac leak somewhere.

Idles fast problem

That would be your engine "choke" functioning. It's not a problem. The choke engages when engine is cold and shoots extra fuel to the cylinders to idle the engine up especially in cold with. Once the engine has sufficiently warmed up, the engine will idle back down.

2006 chevy 2500 express cargo van .What is a good oil pressure for this van. it has 150,000 miles runs great

60psi cold / 30-45psi warm is ideal. I've seen (with that mileage) 45 cold/ 20 warm and that's acceptable - anything less start thinking about a new oil pump.

I have this problem for quite a bit. The idling speed when engine started cold is between 700-800 rpm. As the engine gets hotted idling rpm increase to almost 1000rpm. If idling is adjusted back, the rpm...

There appears to be a thermal movement of choke mechanism that comes about once vehicle is warmed up. Check the chock connections, hot water pipe and linkages tight or clear.

Hesitation or stumble during acceleration

take your car for a tune up
if they are carburetor type motors you may need your carbie cleaned and a tune up
if you clean it your self with carbie cleaner it may increase in idle speed this is nothing to worries about it is a simple adjustment
with a carburetor type motor they tend to idle higher when their cold this is the automatic choke kicking in and normally it should happen till the car is a bit warmer and the accelerator has been depresses
although a car should idle at 800 rpm my paddok car dose when it is cold it idles at 1200rpm i like it this way as the car warms up quicker as i will not drive a car while it is cold
hope this helps

Stalls and wont idle when cold

many automobiles behave that way on a cold start, so you don't have to worry about it. just continue to rev the engine until it is warm!
