Idle air control motor. Mounted to the side of the throttle body. Pull it, clean it and the hole it came out of. Brake clean and a tooth brush. If it still idles high, replace the motor.

SOURCE: 2002 nissan altima p0507 idle problem

I had the same problem before. after using the scanner i got a code number P0507. "Idle Air Control", New 2002 and up Nissan models like my Altima don't have an idle valve or sensor like older models to be replace. Here's the solution " Replace your "Throttle Chamber" the idle sensor is build in it, there is no other way to fix this problem. the throttle chamber is about $175.00 at your Nissan Dealer. The need your core or you will need to pay extra money. No need for expensive mechanic shop, you could do this your self. the throttle chamber is so easy to remove, four screws holds it together. I will take you about ten to twenty minutes to replace it. Please trust me and you will save big bucks!!!!!

SOURCE: Cold days 94 f-150 high rpm start

probably is a emissions sensor problem, lots of these parts are plastic. check out the throttle cables, lub em wd40. there is a type of valve somewhere on top of engine, it may be cracked, pcv valve stuck. lots of possibilities, almost too much for solution online. something emmissions with an electronic sensor is acting up.

SOURCE: PCV valve? IAC valve? Sparkplug wire? Throttle body? Vacuum hose?

the most common causes are plug wire, plug, vacuum leak at intake, fuel injector failure and last no/low cylinder compressio.

Good Day, my Corsa is got a high Idling and replaced all sensors on intake and throttle. Still Idling high and workshop light came on. What can the problem be. Please assist me - Thank you.

The cause of high idle are vacuum leaks or a bad or dirty Idle air control. Check pcv valve to see if its working properly. pinch off the hose that supplies the PCV valve. The engine speed should drop slightly. If the engine returns to a normal idle speed, the PCV valve should be replaced. The Idle air control regulates engine rpms.

85 caprice 305cu hei 4barrel quadrajet car has fast idle in park in gear wants to stall drivin has no power what is it

I'm sure you don't want to hear this but you got problems. At the very least you need a new carb. As for emissions you can just about plug everything off except for the vacuum advance distributor. Emissions testing in most states only applies to vehicles between 2-24 years old. Base timing should be about 8 degrees. Going by what you posted it reminds me of a Cutlass I once owned... the motor was so worn out that I had to idle it up real high so it would stay running in gear. To adjust the carb you need access to a 4 or 5 gas analyzer. You could also have valve problems which would result in low compression. The first thing I would do is compression and leak down tests to confirm the overall condition of the motor and go from there.12_24_2012_7_43_47_pm.png

I have 1990 ford f150 5.8 liter it idles high when in park and idles about 1200 rpm when in gear and sometimes surges up and down. i have clean the idle control and check showing 12.5 ohms still won&#

One common problem is a vac leak or a sticking throttle plate.
The computer controls idle speed by how much air is allowed into the intake. The idle control valve could be sticking even tho you have cleaned it, or have a faulty motor.

Do you have the idle speed turned up to keep it from dying? Because it is high. Check engine light on? Have you checked for vacuum leaks at the gasket under the throttle body? How does the car run under acceleration? You might have a worn distributor shaft.
