What Causes High Idle Speed and Vibration?
1 Answers
The reasons for high idle speed and vibration are as follows: 1. Intake manifold or various valve leaks: Leaks can cause abnormal engine air intake, leading to excessively rich or lean air-fuel mixture, resulting in irregular engine combustion. This can cause engine idle vibration. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body and intake passages: Too much carbon deposits and dirt in the throttle body and surrounding intake passages can change the cross-sectional area of the air passages, making it difficult for the control unit to precisely regulate idle air intake. This results in excessively rich or lean air-fuel mixture and irregular combustion. 3. Inaccurate air intake measurement: The control unit receives incorrect signals from the air flow sensor and issues wrong commands, leading to inaccurate idle air intake and abnormal air-fuel mixture concentration, causing irregular engine combustion. This is an indirect cause of unstable idle.
