Re: RPM issues

Air leaks can do that as well as idle air controller being clogged / failing.

Before tossing time and parts at it though, be sure to follow the sequence for idle relearn.

Re: RPM issues

Stolen from another thread on here:

1. drive car til its warmed up.
2. turn car off, disconnect battery or pull FI ECU fuse out.
3. put fuse back, start car, close hood
4. make sure all accessories are off, do not press any gas or brake
5. just let the car idle for 10 mins by itself
6. turn car off, then back on, and go for a drive like you normally do. it will take usually one tank of gas to completely relearn the fuel trims.

Re: RPM issues

Idle issues, not electrical problems...

Moved to correct section ('Yes, we created a special section for that, for it is reeeealy common.

Read around this section. Plenty of information across the decades this car have been around...

If you have problems with english, let us know. Since you can't find the correct section or search for the issues before posting.

Re: RPM issues

Check for vacuum leak.
EGR valve/ports clogged with carbon?
Got a P0505 code?
Clean the throttle body.
Check for faulty IAC valve.
