This P0507 code is one that's sometimes triggered on vehicles that have electronic throttle control. That is, they don't have a regular throttle cable from the accelerator pedal to the engine. They rely on sensors and electronics to control the throttle. In this case, the P0507 DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is triggered when the PCM (powertrain control module) detects an engine idle speed that is greater than the desired (pre-programmed) RPM. In the case of GM vehicles (and possibly others) if the idle speed is over 200 rpm higher than expected, this code will be set.

    Most likely you'll notice the idle speed is higher than normal. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.

    CausesA P0507 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:


        A vacuum leak

        Leaking air intake after the throttle body

        EGR valve leaking vacuum

        A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve

        Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body

        Failed EVAP system

        Failed IAC (idle air controller) or faulty IAC circuit

    Possible SolutionsThis DTC is more of an informational code, so if there are any other codes set, diagnose them first. If there are no other codes, inspect the intake air system for air or vacuum leaks and damage. If there are no symptoms other than the DTC itself, just clear the code and see whether it returns.
    If you have an advanced scan tool that can interact with the car, command the idle higher and lower to see if the engine responds appropriately. Also check the PCV valve to see if it's blocked and needs to be replaced. Check the IAC (idle air controller) if equipped, verify it's operation. If available, try swapping in a new throttle body to see if that fixes the problem. On Nissan Altimas and possibly other vehicles the problem may be fixed by having the dealer perform an idle air relearn procedure, or other relearn procedures

Your Altima will require an idle air volume learn after cleaning. This procedure will set your idle speed. If the code keeps recurring after the IAVL your throttle chamber may need to be replaced.

So, Jena, you start with the cheapest possible solutions. Go to YouTube and look up how to detect a vacuum leak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CPqbaSgcok Buy a can of throttle body cleaner and get one of the auto store people to show you how to get to the throttle body (basically you use a screwdriver and take off the huge air hose). Then clean the throttle body. If you don't get rid of the problem, watch the YouTube video on how to clean the EGR Valve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB1E9opb87Y While you are at the auto parts store, you will probably want to buy an PCV valve. This may solve your problem even without a mechanic! :)

Correct code P0504?

DTC P0506

Circuit Description

The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The DC motor located in the throttle body drives the throttle plate. In order to decrease idle speed, the PCM commands the throttle closed reducing air flow into the engine and the idle speed decreases. In order to increase idle speed, the PCM commands the throttle plate open allowing more air to pass the throttle plate. If the actual idle RPM does not match the desired idle RPM within a calibrated time, this DTC sets.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0506 Idle Speed Low

My monte carlo has code p0507 what is it and how can i fix it

possible causes
- Dirty throttle body
- Electric throttle control actuator misadjusted or damaged
- Faulty Electric throttle control actuator
- Intake air leak
- Poor electrical connection to the Intake Air Control (IAC) valve
solution !!!
If there are no intake leaks, clean throttle body, adjust engine idle and erase engine code. If the code comes back you may have to replaced the Electric Throttle Control Actuator (Motor) to repair the problem.
