Why do I have a high idle speed?
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. When normal, i had an idle speed of close to 800 rpm’s. Now in gear, idle is around 1100-1200 and in park/neutral between 1600-2000.
What is the code for idle speed control?
Hey Kev2: When AutoZone read me the code 0751 because I asked why my ETS light was on, I assumed they were related. Went back to AutoZone today and got more details. The P0751 is for the shift solenoid valve failure. They also found P0507 for the Idle Air Control (IAC) saying engine idle speed is… Hello All, I have a 1996 Chevy Lumina]
Can a vacuum leak cause high idle condition?
Vacuum leaks could cause high-idle condition, as well as fuel system lean condition, which would set DTC P0171 or P0174 in memory. While diagnosing DTC P0507, you may note concurrent codes, such as: My 2002 Saturn SL1 1.9L OHC, Standard Tran. ~125000 km. presently idles @ 1800 rpm. The original problem started a couple months back.
What does the idle-up valve on a PSP do?
PSP Idle-Up Valve – Many power steering systems include an idle-up VSV. When power steering pressure is detected by the valve, it opens a by-pass, allowing more air past the throttle body and increasing idle speed a couple hundred rpm. A broken valve may simply let air through all the time.
How to troubleshoot an automotive engine high idle?
The troubleshooting procedure for high and low idle conditions are similar, which are included in the following: Step 1 – If the check engine or service engine light soon has illuminated retrieving the diagnostic trouble codes could lead you in the right direction of what the problem is, or is related too.
Can a bad alternator cause a bad idle speed?
A vacuum leak in any of the hoses can be the culprit—inspect them all for leaks. A bad idle-speed control unit can cause the problem; it may need to be replaced. A faulty alternator can fast idle issues; if so, replace it. For the do-it-yourself mechanic, Many high-idle problems can be identified and remedied with some patient troubleshooting.
Why does my car rev up when idling?
If your car seems to be revved up to a higher-than-normal RPM while idling, it’s not necessarily a problem. If this problem happens while the engine is cold, it may be part of the engine’s design.
Why does my car run at 1200 rpm?
Some cars, especially older cars with carburetors are designed to run at 1200 rpm or so until they are warmed up. And in modern cars, if you are running several accessories, such as the air conditioner or heater, the engine’s onboard computer may be telling it to run at a higher RPM to provide the necessary power.
When does idle come back to normal on a Harley Davidson?
Just seems to happen when I’ve been running at a fairly wide open throttle maintaining higher speeds for a while (fwy) or longer stints (catching all green lights) on the streets at a speed of about 45 or more. It always seems to come back to a normal idle after getting back into first gear when stopped, or when I start going again in 1st.
Why does my Ford Mustang idle at 800 rpm?
The car had underdrives on the crank and waterpump before I bought it and the volt gauge does not go up until about 1000 rpm. Even with this the car would idle before at 800 rpm. When I added the parts in the sig, the engine would not idle at all. The car died every time it came to a stop.
What to do if your car is idling too fast?
A throttle body cleaning is likely to cure the high idle speed as well. There are many possibilities when your engine is idling too fast. Here are some common ones to help guide you towards the root of the problem.

What is the idle speed valve on a Toyota?
There is something called an Idle Air Control valve. In the online manual (that is sometimes available in various places) it says “A rotary solenoid type IAC valve controls the fast idle and idle speeds.” It controls flow around a bypass of the throttle plate.
What happens if the idle level is too low?
Idle level too low. If the idle level on your (warmed up) engine is lower than the level decided by the manufactorer, you will usually have two problems: – The oil pressure inside the engine will be very low, and you may see the oil pressure lamp flicker. – Charcoal cannister in the tank ventilation line clogged by fuel or dirt.

What’s the idle speed on a Toyota Matrix?
From brand new to just recently, cold idle was around 1000-1200 at most and would decrease until about 800 rpms. The vehicle functioned exactly as indicated up until i left the vehicle for the bumpers to be repainted and i ended up giving the Matrix a short vacation as i was stored for about 2 months without any use whatsoever.
Why does my car idle at a higher RPM than normal?
Updated January 19, 2019. If your car seems to be revved up to a higher-than-normal RPM while idling, it’s not necessarily a problem. If this problem happens while the engine is cold, it may be part of the engine’s design.
What does accelerated idle mean on a car?
But if the accelerated idle persists even after the engine is fully warmed up, it probably indicates a genuine problem. The first step is to determine if there are any diagnostic trouble codes stored in the PCM (powertrain control module). If there are, this will give you a good starting point for troubleshooting.
