i cant figure out why im idlling at 2000 rpms. any help?
my engine is idlling at 1500-2000 rpms. i had a wreck a while ago and a lot of stuff is outta wack but i had it running fine, great evan and then this started and i cant fix it. i would try adjusting the idle control screw thingy but every once in a while it will idle normally from the time i start it, till i shut it off. i would think if i adjusted it while its high, if it trys to go back to normal it would just kill the engine. but man if anyone knows what might cause a fast idle or has had this happen before i could use any help at all. thanks

huh, yea i was reading about usin a piece of hose or a stethascope to hear leaks. i guess ill give that a shot. do you know if running a diagnostic thing on it would tell the problem? i may have to it this starts getting way more complicated.where is the IACV sensor roughly? or where in the manual cause i cant find it. thanx

You have to jump the TEN and GROUND pins of the diagnostic box under the hood. Then start the car and allow it to reach normal operating temp. Now adjust the idle air adjustment screw until your idle is about 750-800. Once that's set, remove the jumper at the diagnostic box, and THEN shut off the engine. If you don't jump the pins at the box, the computer will try to adjust the idle on it's own.
Hope this helps.

this connector you are talking about, it isnt right next to the battery by chance. cause i noticed there is a conector stuck to something that is all cracked. i think the wires are comming off of the top of the air filter housing where the big hose runs to the engine. or from where the hose meets the engine. where is the IAC sensor? and damn you guys are awsome. thanks everyone for some fast help. thanks
