Stuck throttle plate
vacuum leak
bad TPS
I used to drive mine over 500 miles from DC to Columbia SC and it would idle high once I finally stopped. A guy did something to the throttle to loosen it but....the solution is the idle air control valve. Its right in front of the windshield wiper fluid. Its as easy as replacing the TPS which is two bolts holding it on but make sure you get the right TPS and a Motorcraft idle air control with gaskets. If you dont you might have the same issues again. Easy to replace if you have a socket wrench.
whats the problem for my 94 ford van engine high and low idle
Check for broken motor mounts.
To change the clutch of a 94 Tempo, one needs to make use of Ford Tempo clutch kit. This kits is available at Auto Parts Warehouse.
Just the one?
i know for a fact that a 93 tempo can be...the size belt is 62"
Binding throtle linkage or idle control solonoid not working. ------------- With mine it was the IAVC(idle air valve control) on my 94 2.3L Tempo. I got the part used for $10 at junkyard($54 new at Knetch's). On some, the springs stick so you can try spraying it with carb cleaner to loosen them up. Although on mine, the springs moved but you could blow on one end and air came out the other side. On the "new" IAVC part, air wouldn't pass through but fixed the high idle perfectly! Before you take it out, try tapping it with a hammer to see if it temporarily changes the idle any. If so, that is certain to be your culprit for sure! It was mine!
is it an Aerostar, a Taurus, a Ranger, a Tempo?
change the TPS Throttle Position Sensor
Right below the throttle body with a plug going to it
Most likely a bad Idle Air Control valve. Could also be a vacuum leak.
Did you replace the master. It might be by passing.
