2000 rpm idle

billyrohm · 11-23-01, 11:03 PM

my car idles at around 2000 rpm for nearly a half hour with the power pc, will this go away after a while or is there another problem? Idle is set at the proper rpm.

Search the PFC FORUM for "IDLE" as this is always being asked by newbies. It has been discussed too many times alreday.

Well I fixed the idle. Turned out that coolant wasnt flowing through my throttle body ( I think its clogged ) so the wax rod would never push the fast idle cam out of fast idle. So I just bypassed the throttle body of coolant and I opend the fast idle cam enough to make it not idle fast. Now it idles properly. A little rough till its warm but not at 2000 rpm.
