Just curious what are your Max's idleing at mine is at around 700 most the time but sometimes it idles at like 1000 or even 1500 it's really weird cause if I put it in neutral and blip the throttle when it's at 1500 the idle will drop down to around 700 what's causing this? I have a 95' Auto SE

 

Try cleaning your throttle body.

my idle is at 500 rpm don't know why.....I need to replace my alternator and have a oil leak at the timing cover.....

what you just described is normal..........700 is my idle.......sumtimes the RPM goes crazy if u fool around with the steering wheel or sumthing, but cleaning your throttle body, as sudz mentioned above wont hurt

 

My max is a flood vehicle..it seems to drive fine but whenever i start the car (warm or cold) it ALWAYS idles at 1500...ANY one know what's wrong?? sensor? selinoid?

 

mine is at 600. No problems.

 

Assuming you're not running your A/C or turning the steering wheel the rpms should be somewhere around 700 or so after the engine has warmed up. Even if it's hot outside your idle may still be high for a few minutes after start up. If your idle never goes down I would check your IACV (Idle air control valve) and there is one, maybe two, solenoid(s) that will bump up your idle for steering or A/C maybe one of these is stuck or dirty? You haven't tightened your throttle cable have you?

 

yeah i thought it was some little selinoid..nope i dont have the a/c on neither am i steering the wheel...its everytime i start the car and everytime i drop it in neutral...jumps to 1500...whats that selinoid that's connected to the radiator hose called??
