Engine revs/ high idle
#1
A couple of weeks ago my car started high idling to about 3000. It would also spike between shifts (on an automatic). I replaced the idle air control valve, cleaned out the throttle body and had recently replaced the spark plugs. There are no vacuum leaks and I got it back to roughly normal rpms. about 1000 to 1100 at idle and 1600 between shifts or when going from drive to park. Now I am seeing a correlation between the high rpms and running the a/c. The first time it started spiking, I had been running the a/con high for a good amount of time. Recently it started spiking and I found out the a/c had been run. Has anyone else seen this or had this happen? I disconnected the battery and that brings it back down, is there a sensor in the a/c that is telling the system to run high?Any insight is appreciated. Edited by: wanderingjoe72

To answer your question - Yes, there is a signal that goes through the computer box that will boost the idle RPM when you are running the A/C, but I do not think that is your problem. While the possibility of a vacuum leak cannot be ignored, I kinda suspect that Qwiksl1 and Alaska-Saturn have the problem pinpointed ...
