Too much gas to my Sable!!
John 29 April 2005 01:15:47
	Hello. I have a 1996 Mercury Sable, 65K miles, 24VOHC. I start the car in the morning. The RPM revs all the way to 3000, then it waivers between 2000 and 3000. After a long time, it MIGHT work its way down to normal idle (1000) and then it will jump from 1000-1400. Sometimes, it revs up and then just sits around 2000 rpm . All of this is in Park. I hate having to put in gear at 1500 rpm just to get to work, because the car shoots forward and it is not good on the transmission or engine. When I am idling in traffic (1000 rpm), it will sometimes just shoot up to 1500 rpm, then back down ?? Something is giving this car gas, and it ain't my foot! All recommendations appreciated! Thanks! John

	Sounds to me like there is a problem with your car's throttle body. Get it checked by an ASE certified mechanic asap. This damages the engine. 80% of engine wear happens the first 3 minutes of a cold start up because the engine has to start up with no oil coating the crank shaft as it has all settled to the bottom overnight. And also because the heat still needs to expand the cylindars. The rings are rubbing up against it metal to metal as the engine heats up and it's not good. John wrote:> Hello.

	Sounds like a stuck IAC valve (idle air control) or a vacuum leak, intake manifold gasket or a disconnected or cracked vacuum line. You're suckin air from somewhere.

A vacuum leak would usually be the same under similar conditions. I have seen a bad TPS cause this type idle problem. A dirty/defective IAC is also a suspect. You best bet if this is an ongoing problem is to have the system scanned and diagnosed by a dealer if you have one you trust. Many insependent shops can do this but, it seems to me that the best equipment is provided to Ford dealers for this. The cost should be under $100USD and is usually applied toward the repair if you so choose. With the cost of parts as expensive as they are, it may make more sense to at least get the diagnostic work done before you start throwing parts at it. You may, in fact have multiple problems which may need to be corrected. Good luck Lugnut
