On 1992-96 Mitsubishi Diamante's the idle control valve goes bad after some time. The car will idle real fast and bounce when you put it in gear,or idle very slowly to the point of dying if you don't give it gas . Adjusting the throttle will not correct the problem.Others suggest changing the throttle body,changing the mass air flow device (MAS sensor) among other suggestions.Usually it is the idle control valve.
Remove and replace the idle contol valve,also called idle air valve,stepper valve ,stepper motor,ISC,etc. It is a small part located on the lower half of the rear of the throttle body. This is probably the easiest and also cheapest option of those mentioned above and it'll more than likely be the fix too,try it!
The idle speed sensor tells the onboard computer how fast your engine is idling. The location of the idle speed sensor on the VW Jetta is on the actual throttle body.
could be a bad TPS throttle position sensor OR a bad IAT idle air control temp sensor.
replace the cam sensor
I believe that is controlled by the ECM. If the engine is idling too fast, check the EGR valve. It is to the right (from the drivers perspective) of the throttle body. If the EGR valve is damaged or the gasket is missing it could allow the engine to idle far too fast.
Try cleaning or replacing the idle air control valve (IAC) located on intake manifold next to EGR valve.
Fuel Injected? Could be a stuck throttle plate Try to free up with a screwdiver
You can adjust the idle air control valve on a 1992 1500 truck while it is just idling. This is done if the truck is idling too fast or too slow. It will help the truck run better.
If your engine is ideling fast its probably temperature senser. There is no adjustment for idle. that last answer is not entirely true. u can adjust the idle. but it depends on if its a throttle body unit that looks like a carburetor or a smaller unit. on a TBI unit, there is a screw u can adjust but the only way to adjust it is with the right tool. its not a Philips screw or straight blade. but if its idling high or fast it might be the idle air control valve. the one went out on my 1985 sunbird and caused it to idle funny.
It is very likely there is no way to adjust the idle on your car. If your car is idling low, it's probably a problem somewhere else. Idle is likely controlled by the computer.
idling too fast - adjust choke
throttle position sensor believe it or not!
Symptoms of a failing throttle position sensor might include: Irregular idle Fast idle speed Engine is slow to return to idle speed Hesitation when depressing the accelerator General poor engine performance The ECM, engine control module, uses the throttle position sensor to know when the throttle has moved. If the ECM doesn't know accurately where the throttle is it won't know how much fuel to deliver when.
