What Causes the Idle Speed to Stay at 1200 RPM and Not Drop?
1 Answers
The reasons why the idle speed stays at 1200 RPM and does not drop are as follows: Throttle Valve Malfunction: The throttle valve controls the engine's air intake. If it malfunctions, it can cause errors in the throttle valve's opening, preventing the vehicle from closing it promptly during idle. Idle Control Valve Failure: The car's idle speed is mainly adjusted by the air intake through the bypass throttle body. If the idle control valve on the bypass throttle body fails, it will prevent the idle speed from being correctly adjusted, leading to unstable idle speed and the inability to drop. Abnormal Water Temperature Signal: The water temperature signal is one of the important signals for the vehicle's computer to control the idle speed. If the water temperature signal is abnormal, it will cause irregularities in the idle speed control by the computer. If the computer reads a water temperature value lower than the actual value, it will increase the RPM, so even when the accelerator is released, the idle speed will not drop.
