'95 high idle

My '95 recently started idling between 1,500-2,000 rpm when it's started (and quite a while after). I checked the PVC valve and it's clean and the ball is loose and there's plenty of suction, but surprisingly (to me) pulling it out of the valve cover and then replacing it drops the idle to normal, Any ideas?

Re: '95 high idle

What engine do you have?

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
Try cleaning the IAC valve with carburetor/throttle body cleaner, it is located at the throttle body.

Best regards,

Oscar.

Re: '95 high idle

Also disconnect the MAF sensor and see if your problem goes away, if it does you've got a bad MAF and found your problem.

Best regards,

Oscar.
