my CEL came on ramdomly while slowing down for a stoplight. as the CEL came on the idle jumped up to 1500 rpm. the idle will drop down to normal level when i take it out of gear, then will go up to 1500 and will bounce a little bit between about 1400 and 1500. why would this happen?

any help is appreciated

i'm thinking at might be something to do with injectors or something i'm going to try seafoaming it tomorrow. i have never seafoamed before.

thanks

 

why not find out what the check engine light is for before you waster your money on other methods? sea foam sucks in my opinion. auto or manual?

 

ya definately find out what code your throwin first

 

check cel

obviously a manual. waste $5? damnit!

i know i should check the code. i'm lazy. ill do it tomorrow.

 

threw code 14. idle air control valve

not sure what this means. heeellllppp

 

up

 

it means there is a problem with your idle air control valve.
check the connector, clean the valve itself. im pretty sure its located on the bottom of the throttle body.

 

thanks dood. bottom of the throttle body.....

 

i didn't find it on the bottom of the throttle body..

where exaclty is the valve? and, how does this affect how my car runs. any precautions i should take? or drive as normal?

thanks

 

its behind the intake manifold. can't help u fix it cause i'm having the same problems and been trying to tackle it for the past 3 days

 

werd.

fixed.

took it off and cleaned it out with alcohol and a q-tip.

no more CEL. the small screen thing inside was gooped up.

perfect idle now.
