The egr has nothing to do with idling high, the egr valve is not used at all at no load. and if there was something wrong with the egr valve it would cause the idle to be very low. check your EGR valve for leaks on your exhaust manifol. If you have a factory service manual, they have trouble shooting on almost everything about your car. Check your Air filter or Fuel filter. I replace my air filter once a year, Maybe replace your Fuel filter after 30,000 miles. A high idle is typical of a vacuum leak, I don't know where the above answer has any relation to this. if you have a carb, it may not be adjusted correctly.. from: jay c.-- In my own humble opinion, irratic idle is typical of a vacum leak. I had the same problem with my 8 year old sedan, Had the idle air control valve checked, Air Flow Valve, and throttle serviced... all did not solve the fluctuating idle. My mechanic suggested to replace the gaskets (rubber seal) of the valve cover and the manifold, my car's idling perfectly, it's smoother and sounds much better. My mechanic told me that the previous repair used an inferior gaskets and compensated it by using silicon sealants... the silicon sealants eventually wore-off leaving gaps, causing leaks.

Would a bad starter cause a 1995 Toyota Camry to have a loud idle and now car wont start at all?
Loud idle? no, not turn over ,yes
Why would a 95 Camry stall at stops but once restarted run fine?
Check the EGR valve. It sounds like your EGR valve is staying open. An EGR valve that is open at idle will cause a car to stall. An EGR should be closed at idle and open when you are driving around.
If my idle control valve is bad will my car cut out when i excelerate?
Your idle air control valve should not affect your acceleration. As soon as you step on the gas , the idle part of your engine should not be operating. If your car cuts out or stumbles, i would suspect a problem with the TPS ( throttle position sensor.)
What is the cause of very rough idle on a 240SX with new plugs wires cap and rotor?
I HAD SIMULAR PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THE TPS($60) WAS CAUSING THE IDLE PROBLEM.LOCATED NEAR THE THRATTLE MOUTH.ALSO CHANGE THE IDLE SENSOR($125).MECHANIC SHOULD CHECK THE COMPUTER IN YOUR CAR TO BE 100% SURE.THIS WAS MY CARS PROBLEM ONLY .
What is Idle?
Idle is when the computer is on, but it is not in use at that time. For example, were you using the computer, then stopped for a period (you made no key depressions or the like), your computer then becomes idle. Just consider it as if it were a car; if you start your car and leave it in park, then your car is idle (its on but not in use). Were u to put your car in drive, it would no longer b idle (the same can be said with a computer if u make a key depression). Hope this helps. == idle== lazy ===
Would an idle air control valve cause a car to idle high?
Yes if it is stuck open.
Would a busted throttle cable cause a car to not run?
It would start and run but only idle. It would not be drivable.
Can a bad battery cause a car to idle high?
No, that has nothing to do with idle speed.
Can the idle control valve cause a car to overheat?
no it can not.
What is the main cause why the car was vibrating when you put in reverse?
The most probable cause would be the idle control on the engine. When you put a car in gear, there is a "load" put on it (the transmission is using power) and the idle speed normally drops. The idle could be dropping to the point where it becomes unstable and causes the engine to vibrate.
What would cause a squealing sound when the car is idle and driving?
you need to replace your belts. Take it to AutoZone to have them look at it
What would cause a car to idle but die when you step on the gas?
It could be need of a tune up or a gas filter.
Would a bad starter cause a 1995 Toyota Camry to have a loud idle and now car wont start at all?
Loud idle? no, not turn over ,yes
Would a bad fuel injector pressure regulator on 98 olds aurora cause car to stall at idle?
A bad fuel pressure regulator will cause the car to stall or not run .
Will a weak battery cause car to be idle low?
Not likely but possible.
What would cause your car to stall when the car is at idle you hit the peddle and it stalls?
I had the same from, this especially can happen with fuel injected cars. Some main things you want to check is the timing belt if its off setting or mot, or maybe your fuel filter or fuel pump. These could be some of the problems that cause your car to idle.
Would a leak from the power stering cause a car to sputter or die at idle?
NO... You have other problems. Sounds like WATER is in the fuel.
