High idle runs at high rpm and will not idle down

Cars are design to run at a higher idle at start up to warm them up quick. There is a sensor that reads water temperature and tells your car's computer how fast to idle. Your RPMs seem slightly high but not out of the norm. Does idle ever drop to around 600/800 after about a minute? If not, your engine temperature sensor maybe defective.

check for leaking vacuum line. check the timing setting also check idle control senor

1st run scans for fault codes.

Assuming you don't have any stray vacuum lines, I'd look into the TPS (throttle position sensor) Most idling problems can be traced back to the TPS.

have you checked for vacuum leaks?

what is thye correct idle rpm in park 1999 amigo

check idle speed control make your throttle valves not stuck.check for vacuum leak around the throttle body area look for broke gasket.

Hi,

Offhand, yes this would be normal. The high idle is brought about by the auto choke whose purpose is to hasten the reaching of operating temperature of the engine. The fact that the idle RPM goes down after some time is a good indicator, it tells us that the auto choke is working.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

well. your idle is just high. you can get a screw driver and find the idle screw on the throttle body. . and jsut adjust there , , that is if there are no problems.

now it also maybe a leaky intake. . . . but i think its jsut more of a small adjsutment. . 8)
