Low idle - no codes

Cleaned throttle body twice - no change. Is there some thing I missing (like IAC port in the TB or ??)

There is a throttle body relearn procedure. But requires a scanner.

Testimonial: "I have an OBDII scanner but sounds like you need a dealer level tool. Thanks for the reply !!"

SOURCE: 97 sierra fast rough idle, no power, severe knocking

Ok it seems to me like you may have to do some electrical checks, perhaps some voltage checks/drops in order to find out. For the P0118 you could use your scanner provided it can read live data. Look at the coolant temp snsr (cts or ect) and read its value it should read close to intake air temp snsr (IAT) value. The unplug the sensor value should change drastically and go negative. The jump the Two terminals and temperature should go high. If it does you've you've eliminated the circuit and the sensor it faulty. Make sure you have 5v reference as I said before you may have to voltage drop the circuit to make sure you're not loosing any voltage and that the circuit is intact. Good luck! Here are some links with more info and possible causes. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0118 http://www.obd-codes.com/p0507

SOURCE: how to clean throttle body on 2005 gmc canyon 3.5l

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

2003. Where is the idle (air) control valve?

Infiniti G35 2003, no engine told or vin and I tell you.
the IAC can be many places.
on side of TB or car is TBW? lets look
or bolted to the intake manifold anywhere.
3.5L V6 engine if USA =
answer there is no IAC the TB (twb) is now a virtual IAC, the PCM uses the motor drive in the TB to
control idle as do all newer cars do now.
also shopping for IAC this car shows no hits. (USA)
TBW = throttle by wire
TB = throttle body valve. TV= throttle valve, ASE names all.

I have a 98 sunfire 2.2 the idle started lobing up and down with iac code changed iac, tps, coil packs, fuel filter if its running at idle i can put my finger over iac port in the throttle body and it...

Dirty throttle body . Does it run good when you step on the gas pedal ? driving down the road . Don't guess , do fuel pressure testing . Videos on youtube showing how , fuel pressure tester under $30 most part stores .

99 sl1 with 1.9 has high idle and will not idle below 1200 in drive

remove the throttle body (4 bolts) and then remove the idle air control (bolted to the TB, between the firewall and the throttle body)-clean the TB, the Idle air controller and remove the Throttle Position Sensor (opposite the IAC) and clean it if necessary. The IAC carbons up on these cars, as does the Throttle body-I know, I have a 99 SL with 180,000 miles, it is almost like an oil change as they get older.

The car stops immediately after i turn on the AC

The problem might be with the Idle Air Control valve. This component is mounted on the throttle body and as its name implies it contols the engine idle speed anytime the accelerator is released.

One thing to try is to have the IAC valve removed and with a throttle body cleaner, clean the IAC valve and the idle air bleed port on the throttle body. If doing this shows no improvement with the idle, then the IAC valve may require replacement.

High Idle 2

I would look at the codes,, jumper the two upper connector holes in the diagnostic link with a paperclip,, turn the key on, and read the blinks of the check engine light,, first will come 3 12 codes then any error codes. If you get a repair manual for that vehicle it will tell you how to perform these tests.

Tach revs up 300 to 800 rpm on its owne.at hiway speed.

My 1998 5.2 Dakota did the same thing... I removed the Idle Air Control valve and cleaned it with carb cleaner and my problem has been fixed (FOR FREE). At the same time I removed the Throttle Position Sensor and inspected it. I have read that running a very good fuel system cleaner in a tank of premium gas will help clean the carbon buildup on the sensors and throttle body. These two sensors are located on the Throttle Body and remove by unscrewing two Torx screws... the entire process took me less than 5 minutes. I know it is called an IDLE Air Control Valve (or solenoid) but my truck also did it while going down the road at certain speeds.

How to Clean the IAC Solenoid:
This is recommended at every Tune-Up to prevent excess carbon buildup on the IAC plunger. In some cases, you'll notice a slightly erratic idle quality. This is the first step in taking care of that problem. IAC = Intake Air Control (Solenoid).
  • Remove the Air Hat from the Throttle Body
  • Disconnect the sensor harness from the IAC Solenoid (Rear of Throttle Body)
  • Remove the two Torx-25 Screws
  • Remove the IAC Solenoid (Be careful not to lose the rubber O-Ring)
  • Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and let it sit
  • Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner on the tip of the IAC Solenoid and wipe clean (Do NOT forcefully twist or push the plunger - You will damage the Solenoid. Wipe very gently.)
  • Spray a little bit more Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and wipe clean with a thin/lint-free rag
  • Reinstall the IAC Solenoid (Make sure you don't lose the rubber gasket on the solenoid)
  • Reinstall the sensor connector and airhat
  • Start the engine and let idle for about 1 minute.

Idle

You need to change out the IAC valve and also the TPS sensor. The IAC is right beside the throttle body and is held in with 2 bolts. The Throttle position sensor is right on the back side of the throttle body and plugs in from the underside. Four 8mm bolts hold the throttle body down and will need to be removed to change both parts. Make sure to get a new TB gasket. This will fix your idle problem 100%.
