My 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 L is idling at 1300 rpm when traveling above 15 mph and then it goes down to a normal 600 rpm when it comes to a stop. The only way to tell it is doing this is to put it in

Is this idle pattern normal?

SOURCE: Idle Problem when you slow down of come to a stop idle goes low

THis has happened to me in the past. My fix was to clean the throttle body. The problem began after my battery died. The computer was defaulted back to its original settings after replacing the battery. Once I cleaned the throttle body, everything was fine. This happened at about 85,000 miles.

SOURCE: idle too high on a 06 cobalt

when you clean it make sure that you hold the butterfly open so you can get the spots clean that need it. If there is anything in the way the butterfly will not close. Just a small bit of dirt will do this .

SOURCE: Oil Pressure Light Comes On after 10 min of Driving

You may not have put the right amount of oil in your car, your oil pressure sensor could be faulty, or you may have a leak.

By revving your engine, you're increasing the pressure and thus turning off the light and making the sensor think that it's at the correct pressure.

Rpm does not drop below 1000

No,only on carburated engines it,idles down to the set point,on yours,it's fuel injected,pushing gas pedal won't kick idle down,should go down after a certain amount of time,does it automatically,If you start and drive a 5 mile ride and stop at a stop sign,it should idle at it's set point if there's no engine problems,which may be.5 to .7 on your tac.When you normally first start,it will idle between 1000 to 1200 rpm's,don't push on gas,let idle say 15 seconds,put in drive and go.

How to remove air from engine coolant system?

While engine cold, open your radiator cap, start the engine then engage your throttle to ramp up/down your rpm from idle to 2000 or higher for about 15 seconds then top up then coolant. Repeat the above steps 2-3 X. Or after replace the coolant, just do short trip/travel with your car, after engine get cold, top up your coolant to normal level. Now your radiator is free of air. It is easy.
