Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Idle Speed Inspection
NOTE:
-
Before checking the idle speed, check these items:
-
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has not been reported on.
-
Ignition timing
-
Spark plugs
-
Air cleaner
-
PCV system
-
Set the parking brake.
1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector.
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
3. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
4. Check the idle speed without load conditions: headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, and air conditioner off.
Idle speed should be:
M/T: 750 ± 50 rpm
A/T: 800 ± 50 rpm (in Park or neutral)
5. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch ON, temperature set to Max Cool, blower fan on High, rear window defogger
ON, and headlights on high beam).
Idle speed should be:
M/T: 750 ± 50 rpm
A/T: 800 ± 50 rpm (in Park or neutral)
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. If the idle is still out of specification, go to the
symptom troubleshooting. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
6. Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve connector.
