What are the possible causes, a high idle speed motor hand was cold? I assume this may be leaking from somewhere, because once the motor to idle is normal and temporary, but I am trying to figure out where the leak is probably because I do not like to use sealants unless absolutely necessary. Any help is appreciated!

i think the o ring was a bit loose, so i tightened that up

when i started the car up without the plug at the bottom of the tps plugged in, it idled at 1500 or so, when i plugged in it went to normal, and then i unplugged while the car was running and the car stalled

does this all sound like normal behavior?

did you follow this guide on cleaning the aac valve and setting the idle? it sounds like your aac valve idle adjustment screw isnt set right.

If you did follow these steps (unplugging tps let engine get to operating temp etc) disregard.

I did the aac valve clean ages ago and thought i followed every step but for shits and giggles went over my whole car and got to the ecu and found i had adjusted idle there way too high and the aac valve way too low. Strange that i did this but there you have it.

Re did the idle setting steps and my start up and idle is way better and after revving returns to idle quickly and smoothly.

Yeah.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
