What causes idling vehicle RPMs to fluctuate?
Why does my engine’s RPM seem to fluctuate (runs rough)? Engine hunting and surging at idle is usually caused by a fuel delivery, air leak, or governor system problem. Cleaning/overhauling the carburettor, adjustment of the governor, and/or changing the air filer may be required.
What is normal idle RPM in park?
It’s normal for the car to idle about 100-150 RPM higher in park. If it’s a lot more than that, there could be a vacuum leak, or misadjusted carburetor linkage.
What is the normal idle tachometer reading?
It’s normal for it to fluctuate ~50 RPM. It should sit right around 850-950 RPM at idle. about 750-800 in gear. If it fluctuates more than that you either need to clean your Idle Air Controller (small cylinder shaped thing on the top of the throttle body) or your Mass Air Flow Meter or possibly both.

Why does my car idle at a high idle speed?
One tip is to make sure you are checking the engine idle with the air conditioning and defroster in the OFF setting. With some cars, the onboard computer automatically revs the idle speed slightly when accessories are running, and you won’t get a true idle speed if they are at work.
What should the idle speed be on a Toyota 04 XR?
Nah, if the idle is above 1000 after being warmed up with the A/C off, something is wrong. My manual 04 XR idles at nearly 2000 on a cold day when I first start it, but after the engine warms up it goes down to about 700. Your automatic should idle at about the same speed.
Why does my Toyota Prius have a high idle speed?
He recommended that i spray the lower opening inside the throttle body (where the IAC valve is located) and spray throttle body cleaner. I did so, and still no results. To my logic, it seems as if the IAC is stuck and thus registering as if its cold and thus that is why i have such a high idle speed.
