Idles too high

On our Triumph TR3A, when the S.U. carberator gets hot the idle goes up to 2000 rpms and stays there. How do I adjust?

Engine idles at 1000 RPMs.At 60 MPH 2000 RPM's.Is this normal?

the 4.0L engine?
is this engine cold or hot.
why is 2000 rpm wrong for 60mph., (depends on engine and axle size and what gear you were in , then)

the idle speed for hot is too high
did you scan the PCM yet?
if hot , idle is high, is the thermostat holding water temp 180f or above. ? if not that is the problem.

High idle( 1000-1200mpr)

the most probable cause for high idle is the idle air control because this sets idle on todays cars. you could have a vacuum leak, but remove and clean IAC first. to see if it goes to the proper rpms. good-luck !

2004 Dodge Durango. when started it idles high to 2000 RPMS then when on the road it stays at an rpm, you dont have to push the pedal it just goes by itself.

It sounds like the Idle Air Control Valve is stuck. This will give you a fixed idle it can stick at high idle or low or anywhere in between. If you take off the air cleaner you see where the air is getting sucked into a small slot or hole. spray some carb and choke cleaner in there let it sit for about 5 minutes then start the engine. spray a little at a time with the engine running till the idle comes down by itself. This should take about 2-3 minutes. If it wont come back on its own take the 2 torx screws out and remove it clean with carb and choke cleaner and replace. If it still fails it will need to be replaced. MOST of the time cleaning it will work

Idle will not come down

check for vacuum leaks, that will typically cause a high idle.

1990 Toyota Celica GTS. Idle races too high

sound very much like a vacuum leak.... also maybe your timing is off? possibly advanced? try retarding it with the distributor if thats the case...

IDLE PROBLEM

Look at your air intake on the motor: as the pedal is pushed you'll see the apparatus and a screw that controls how far back the pedal goes when it's not being pushed. The easiest way is to see the idle adjusted and more fixes for the idle problems are available on YouTube and through a Google search.
