Cleaning the battery terminals had nothing to do with the engine not idling properly. Just a coincidence.
I think your alternator doesn't work properly.
To change the idle air control valve on a 1999 Toyota Solara, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, then locate the idle air control valve on the throttle body. Remove the electrical connector and the mounting screws, then carefully pull the valve out. Install the new valve by reversing the process, making sure to secure it properly and reconnect the battery before starting the engine.
The idle is not adjustable. It is computer controlled with a idle air control motor that is on the back of the throttle body. If your idle speed is incorrect you either have a computer that has "forgot" how to idle or a sensor issue. You need to have it checked for codes, if no codes you need to reset the computer's memory. You can reset the memory by unhooking the battery for 5 minutes. If it now idles properly you should have the battery tested, a weak battery can cause the computer to "forget" how to idle.
did you reset the E.C.M.(computer)after you replaced parts and cleaned?take off negative battery terminal for a couple of minutes,then reconnect.that should reset the computer and clear any old codes.
Double check and make sure it is the right battery for your car, sometimes the auto parts guys get it wrong.
The car was staying idle.
To replace the idle air control (IAC) motor on a Ford Windstar, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the IAC motor, which is typically found on the throttle body; disconnect the electrical connector and remove the mounting screws. Carefully take out the old motor and install the new one, making sure to secure it properly and reconnect the electrical connector. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the vehicle to ensure proper operation.
changed battery in 2000 chrystler sebring and now will not idle
To replace the idle control valve on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Next, locate the idle air control valve on the throttle body, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the two screws holding the valve in place. After removing the old valve, clean the mounting surface, install the new valve, and secure it with screws. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector and the battery terminal, then start the engine to ensure proper operation.
No, that has nothing to do with idle speed.
To reset the ECU of a 2008 Renault Clio, first disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it off for about 10-15 minutes. This will help clear any stored error codes. Reconnect the battery terminal, ensuring it's secure, and then start the engine. Allow it to idle for a few minutes to let the ECU recalibrate.
If your 2003 Suzuki XL7 won't idle after changing the battery, it may be due to a few reasons. The engine's idle air control valve (IAC) may need to be reset or cleaned, as it can sometimes stick after a power loss. Additionally, check for any vacuum leaks or ensure all electrical connections are secure, as these can affect idle stability. If the issue persists, consider scanning for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that could pinpoint the problem.
