Engine idles at 3,000 RPMs when hot

There are a number of things that can cause a high idle. so here is a guide that will help with getting us started:

The most common of all these is an intake air sensor that is not reading correctly as the engine heats up or there is a vacuum leak opening up when the engine gets hot.

So, I would suggest starting with checking for a vacuum leak. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Let's start with this and let me know what you find, and we can go from there. Thanks

Thanks, very much for your help and support I have found the problem, it's the gasket for the throttle body..
Best regards..

Hi Ken,

Everything running ok but engine idle going up and down when air condition on.
What do you think is the problem?

That is good news. This could be normal depending on how much it is ranging. Basically, when you add this load the idle will go up when the compressor is engaged and then drop when it is off.

However, if this is ranging a lot, let's get a new post started because I am sure others will be interested in that repair if they have the same issue. They just won't find it under this heading.

Hi Ken, I am currently working on a RAV4 1az engine and I have found 3errors which I will attach...I have changed the pedal position sensor and the throttle body, but cannot RAV more than 2000 rmp..

Errors found, I have changed the pedal position sensor and the throttle body. Now the engine idle is good at 800rpm but won't go over 2,000 RPMs.

This is a different car than the thread subject. Please post your new question here, you must be logged in.
