Idle Speed

NOTE: Idle speed is controlled by ECM or PCM and is not adjustable. Slight fluctuations in idle speed are considered normal. Start and run engine for at least 7 minutes to establish ECM or PCM control of idle.
NOTE: Incorrect idle speeds are normally caused by dirty throttle plate or vacuum leaks. Ensure all vacuum components are functioning properly.
  1. Idle speed is ECM/PCM-controlled. Resetting of IAC valve pintle is the only adjustment that can be performed. To reset IAC valve pintle position, turn ignition off.
  2. Disconnect negative battery terminal for 10 seconds to clear ECM/PCM memory. Reconnect negative battery terminal. Turn ignition on for 2 seconds, then off for 10 seconds. Start engine, and check for proper idle operation. Repeat step 1) if proper idle operation is not obtained.
