Idol runs fast after starting vehiicle

Have you checked for vacuum leaks ?

Spray a small amount of starting fluid around all suspected areas and if it revs up that's where you leak is.

take it to a good shop and have the error codes checked. expect to pay anywhere from $0 (free), to $ 50, any charge should be applied to repairs

Sounds like your vehicle is having a fuel delivery issue.. Check the following

a. Fuel Level
b. Fuel Pressure
c. Fuel Filter
d. Defective Fuel Pump


Probably you have just had a Fuel Pump Failure. You need to have someone put a fuel pressure gauge on your system to determine if it is a blocked Pump, blocked Fuel Filter or just No fuel.

It can also be you put in the wrong Fuel (had that happen to a few of my clients before.

This sounds about normal, possibly a little high, you could check to make sure there isnt too much fluid! If not, then i wouldnt worry about it!
Good luck

A vehicle with that many kms does not present a problem. It all has to do with how well the vehicle was maintained, are the kms more highway or city, and any all problems the previous owners had. The amount of kms does not determine the amount of time left. Perform the necessary maintenance (oil, filters, plugs and wires, etc) and the vehicle will last as long as properly maintained.

Try changing the fuel filter

check for air leaks on the emission system, if fine, check for the throthle posittioner disconect it, if idles good, replaceit, next go to the idle motor, is next to the throthle body, remove it and clean it with a good carburator cleaner, install it and start the car.
good luck.

try moving up the octane on one fill-up.

it sounds like you should replace the spark plug wires and go from there. good luck.

I have a 2002 grand am and less than a year ago had to replace cadalitic converter. The check engine light would come on once in awhile, and the car will start to bogg down. It started out as intermitent then eventually all the time. The smell may be the heating up of the converter.
