Where to adjust 2.0 liter ford focus idling

I bought a 2007 model ford focus but i noticed the engine idling is so high from 900 to 1000rpm at operating temp. (engine warmed-up). I checked the throttle valve but I didn't see any obvious air controller adjustment that I can make minor tweak prior consulting professional.

    you have a bad idle air control valve, think of it as a choke when the car is cold it will cause the motor to idle high to warm the motor fast and then it is suppose it bring the idle down to normal

SOURCE: Idles bad

Sounds like you may have an upper intake manifold leak. Typically the gasket between the Plenum and the lower intake dries up and gets sucked into the intake a little causing a leak and a high idle issue. The repair requires the removal of the plenum and replacement of the gasket. NOTE: there is a torx bolt hidden between the center plenum runners and can only be seen by looking straight down at the top of the plenum and it may be covered in dirt. If you have to use a bar to pry off the plenum you probably have missed a bolt. Typically it is the one noted above. Best of luck.

SOURCE: 1989 ford f150 w/ 5.0 liter..... engine light on

I would check the oil pressure of the engine. The reason is the timing chain tensioners are run with oil pressrue. I think your timing chain tensioners are leaking down when engine is getting to operating tempature . The oil is thinning down as warms up , as it should to lubercate . I would check compression and do a cylinder leak down test on all the cylinders. Then if the compression is good and the cylinder leak down is good. I would change all the timing components, ( chain, timing gears, timing chain tensioners )

Good Luck , I hope this helps.

Try discoonecting the battery for a few minutes, and then reconnect and drive it, it may have to "relearn" proper idle speed.

Ford Focus Wagon ZXW Idles too slow. Need to adjust Idle up. How do I do this?

Right now look at the front of the engine behind the exhaust manifold and their are two breather pipes connected to a T connection that comes from the engine and check these pipes as if perished and split the engine will not idle .You cannot adjust anything without a dealer software to reset the mapping so check these pipes first and iam sure you will find their split and gone soft

My 2005 ford focus is running at a very high idle, or a vacuum leak. How can I tell which one it is? And how hard or how much will it cost to fix.

Quite possibly a vacumme leak. check all around intake manifold for vac hoses disconnected and /or cracks where they connect either to manifold or trace to end location and chec there also

Why does my 2005 ford focus die while idling

Hi timberdwelle,

I believe you Ford dies while idling is because it's idle is too low, adjust the idling you will notice the change from the sound of the engine and base on the speedometer to see how high the needles goes up, don't go over 2 lines.

I hope this helps,

Have a 2003 ford focus. idling problem

if you have 14 volts or more at the battery at 1000 rpms, the battery & alternator are fine. If you get the same surge when you turn the bower motor on high speed, it is just the normal load on the alternator as it puts out more current. The engine is supposed to compensate by kicking up the idle. It does this through the IAC, idle air control. You may need to clean the IAC passages and the throttle body passages. I also would clean the MAF sensor heated wires with carb cleaner or MAF sensor cleaner. The MAF is in the iar intake hose and has a 2 or 3 wire connector going to it. The heated wires are in the air stream. Then disconnect the battery for 2 hours to clear the "Keep alive memory"
It will relearn after you drive for 10 miles. May run rough for that time.
good luck.

Engine revs on ford focus

hi there, can you tell me the engine size. it sounds like you have a problem with the idle speed adjuster. you can try and remove it for cleaning. they tend to carbon up inside and stick, which causes the idle problems. however if your car is a diesel then this fix does not apply. cheers. dave

Crankcase capacity for 2003 ford focus 2.0 liter split port engine

Hi,

To my knowledge, a 2003 Ford Focus 2.0 SPi engine would need 4 quarts of engine oil (roughly 3.78 liters). Incidentally, the Ford/Cosworth Zeta/Zetec engine would be needing 4.25 quarts (~4 liters).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
