idle RPMazab18868 03-18-2004, 12:11 AM what the idle rpm for my 97 cav. (rpm for my car 900 when the car warm up ) is this high or noromal ? please help me . perna00 03-18-2004, 05:51 AM mine is a 96' - 650 rpm @ idle azab18868 03-18-2004, 07:08 AM how can i decrease my rpm ? perna00 03-18-2004, 05:28 PM first check to make sure that the cruise control cable and throttle cable are not preventing the spring from returning all the way on the throttle body. if the cables are loose allowing it to return back all the way, sounds like a bad sensor. (possible the idle air control valve, might try using carb cleaner to remove carbon from pindle) C_Sephiroth 03-18-2004, 11:29 PM You Should first check the Spec, is it and Auto or a Manual, Auto's will have a higher RPM normaly than a Manual. I have a 91 that idles about 900 also. perna00 03-19-2004, 12:33 AM mine is also a 96' and an automatic azab18868 03-19-2004, 02:41 AM my car is Manual . ( how can i clean the idle air control valve) perna00 03-19-2004, 11:29 AM it will be on your throttle body. there will probably be 2 star head screws holding it on. after you take it out, use a strong spray carb cleaner or any other solution to remove the carbon deposits and spray inside the throttle body where the seal is formed. when reinstalling, remember to push the piston all the way back into the sensor to prevent damange. the more carbon that is built up making a bad seal, the higher your rpm's will be at idle. if it's totally shot your car could idle as high at 3k. azab18868 03-19-2004, 03:59 PM oh.... ther is no oxygen sensor in my car is this the probelem for idle ? perna00 03-19-2004, 06:42 PM no oxygen sensor? there should actually be 2 on your car. one on the exhaust manifold and one on the cat. converter. If it's not registering, you would have a check engine code reading o2 sensor failure or at least a fuel system too lean or too rich. azab18868 03-20-2004, 05:00 AM although my check engine lamp off . perna00 03-20-2004, 07:08 PM unless it's a vacuum leak somewhere else, there would normally be a check engine code of some sort if a sensor or part was not fuctioning. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
