If the engine runs well otherwise (no misfire, no rough running when you take off from a stop sign, runs better when cold) an idle problem is often caused by the EGR valve. If you have any doubts, run an engine diagnostic test to see what the computer has to say. I recently had this problem and just had it fixed it was my mass air flow sensor so check that, but best to get it tested with diagnostic equipment.
The idle air control valve on a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville is located on the intake manifold. This valve allows direct adjustment to the engines idle system.
to the right
There is an idle adjustment at the carb. Look where the accelerator pulls the butterfly stop and you will see an adjustment screw.
Yes, the 1998 Pontiac Mid-size Bonneville with the 3.8L V6 engine does have an idle control valve. The OEM part # is 17112929. Aftermarket brands will cost around $40-60. It's a small part, usually located on the throttle body. Two bolts to mount, and it's got a 4-pin electrical connector.
bad idle and chec engine light comes on. this can be checked with and obd 1 code reader
should be about 42-45 psi at idle, will change with vac line to fuel pressure solenoid disconnected
have them check the codes , but prob will be the throttle position sensor is out of whack.
I read that bad motor mounts can cause this knocking sound
Where is the fuel idle control valve for a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
c.s. magnet
i believe so and i think its called a Idle Air Control Valve
Idle is controlled by the ECM (computer). Not adjustable. check sensors
