What happens when engine idle speed is above programmed range?
What happens when engine idle speed is above programmed range?
When the engine idle speed is either above or below the programmed range, the ECU prompts the ISC to either increase or decrease bypass airflow. Naturally, as the IAC prompts the throttle plate to open, engine speed increases. The IAC features a plunger mechanism that may be stuck/sticking.
What does high RPMs but won’t pick up speed mean?
It doesn’t sound like clutch slipping, if that was the case the rpms would skyrocket while your speed stayed the same. It sounds to me like your vehicle is in limp mode. If that was the case it would be throwing some sort of codes for sure and I’m guessing you would have a warning light.
Why is my Chevelle 350 hard to start?
Fuel pump check valve doesn’t maintain pressure in the fuel rail so it boils and then you have to crank excessively to get rid of the vapor before it will start. Bought a 1972 Chevelle 350 a couple years ago. Every time I drove it it wouldn’t restart easily or sometimes not at all unless I waited a while.
What causes rough idle and surging after warm up?
Rough idle and surging after… Rough idle and surging after warm up on my 90 L98 Corvette (33k) no codes showing. Parts replaced; fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, EGR valve, oxygen sensor, injectors cleaned, throttle body cleaned, dry gas used in tank.
Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause a rough idle?
Once warm, a bad fuel pressure regulator can cause a rough idle by leaning out the mixture due to low fuel pressure. A Fuel filter would not cause a rough idle when warm. A clogged fuel filter would cause far more problems on a cold start when fuel demand is higher.
What is the problem with the idle air control valve?
The problem may involve an annoying change (up/down) of engine speed while cruising at a steady pace, a low drop (or even cut-out) at idle or when approaching a stop, a wild high engine speed of several thousand rpm followed by a drop to near zero, etc. • Dirty/sticking IAC (idle air control valve) (P0505)
What causes an engine to surge at idle?
A surge is usually caused by a fuel system management or drivetrain operation failure. When an engine’s computer can “hunt” or “surge” at cruising or idle speeds it is searching for program compliance, there is a problem elsewhere in the system. SPONSORED LINKS. Article published 2017-01-26.

What to do if check engine light code p0171 is triggered?
If check engine light code P0171 is triggered again, check the rest of the vacuum lines for leaks and continue to the rest of the diagnostic process. Remove the mass airflow sensor and clean the sensor using mass air flow cleaner or contact cleaner.
