High idle speed: '94 T-Bird with V6 3.8L

Jul 02, 2006 1 Replies

My '94 Thunderbird (3.8L V6) has a problem with idle speed -- once the engine is warm, and in neutral, it will idle anywhere between about 1500 rpm and 2000 rpm. Idle speed in D is normal (700-800rpm).



Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it? It seemed to suddenly start doing this a while ago, although earlier, the idle speed (while in D) was perhaps a little low (and the revs would not be steady).


IAC valve, most likely.
