Do you still have a low idle or was it just that one instance?

 

[203CT]

[RonJ]

CEL codes?

Jump the service connector to pull the codes.

Okay did a seafoam carbon cleaning...used the vacuum line..a whole lot of white and blue smoke out the tail pipe..but now I have a CEI..came on as soon a I dipped the line into the seafoam...will if go off with time or do I need to get it reset or anything..the car is running fine by the way.

Its for a misfire code caused by the seafoam, its pretty normal for that to happen. Should go away on its own.

 

[RonJ]

Pull the code to verify.

Does the idle change with the AC on or off? Mine did. I checked the fans and discovered the condenser fan wasn't turning on. You can unplug and put 12v to it to check. Anyway changed the fan motor and no more low idle problem. Didnt need to touch the iac. I guess the compressor was putting too much load on the engine.

Idk I'll check thanks man
