A high idle in a Chevrolet Alero can be caused by several factors, including a malfunctioning idle air control (IAC) valve, a vacuum leak in the intake system, or a faulty throttle position sensor (TPS). Additionally, issues with the mass airflow sensor (MAF) or a dirty or clogged air filter can also lead to an elevated idle. It's important to diagnose the specific cause to ensure proper functioning and performance of the vehicle.
