high idle
I tried searching this topic, but topics with high would show up so i got nowhere. I have a high idle (1000 - 1200 rpms) what are the main factors in this problem and where would the parts be located?

Re: high idle
First check to make sure the blades are closing fully when you let off on the pedal. Might be sticking open a bit. Then check for significant vacuum leaks.... the engine can't idle high unless its getting too much air from somewhere.
If you have access to a scanner, check the IAC motor "counts".... that will tell you if the PCM is trying to lower the idle speed using the IAC. If it is, there's a chance the IAC counts are bottomed out at "0". If that's the case, its a sign either the IAC motor has closed fully and the engine is getting the air from another source, or the IAC motor is not responding to the PCM "counts" command.
