Isuzu Rodeo fast idle
We have a 1997 Rodeo with the 4.2L V6. It idles too fast. Things we have
done include replacing the "idle motor", which is actually a solenoid. That only cured it for a short time. I have tried lubricating throttle linkage and throttle body, to no avail. Strangely, when the battery was disconnected for an unrelated problem, everything was fine for a few hundred miles, then the idle speed started to creep up again, to the point it idles at about 2200 rpm. This is not a good thing considering we take it up mountain roads occasionally. Even changing down a gear, the machine wants to run away on long down grades, leading to me having to ride the brakes way too much. |

Air AFTER the MAF will cause a high idle. -- Steve W. |

When the battery was disconnected for an unrelated problem, everything was fine for a few hundred miles, then the idle speed started to creep up again, to about 2200 rpm. Even changing down a gear, the machine wants to run away on long downgrades, leading to me having to ride the brakes way too much. __________________________________________________ __________ "Steve W." wrote: Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Check the vacuum lines for cracks and tighten throttle body mounting screws. NOTE: The car previously had the same problem and a new IAC fixed it. It is possible that the new IAC is failing. Good luck. Rodan. |
