Idle adjusted, now what?
Hi all,
My idle slowly went south from about 700 to about 400-450 over about a week's time. I've adjusted it back up to 700 and everything runs smooth but now what? It dropped for a reason.
Where should I start looking for the reason it dropped in the first place?
Any tips or previous experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel

The screen on the IACV (idle air control valve) could be clogging up. Mine looked like a rubber disk when I pulled the IACV off. You could also have EGR ports that are clogging up. A week's time is rather quick though, but if the passages and screen were borderline, it's possible.

EGR can affect idle if one or more ports are clogged and the valve is stuck open though.
