High Idle
High Idle
So I've been having this issue for a while and recently have started to investigate it. For some reason my idle holds at 1500rpm until I come to a dead stop. I did some research and found out that some cars came with deceleration valves that would purposely do this to prevent a rich condition which could foul catalytic converters. I talked with EuroCharged and Jerry is unaware how to bypass this feature in our cars since we have electronic throttles. I've checked every vacuum line and every connection is held down with ring clamps and still not resolved.
This only happens when the car is warmed up, I also have cat codes P0422 and P0432 so it could be possible that the idle is holding because it's trying to get the cats up to temp.
If the cat codes are possibly the cause for this then I'll probably have to get those replaced even though I don't have emissions testing here.

Re: High Idle
Hi folks, new here and having exactly same high idle situation except no codes at all. No performance loss. Rpm just hangs there until I come to a stop.
what would be your advice, what should I do first?
Regarding catalytic converters, how do I declog those and do I even touch them?
Appreciate any input.

Re: High Idle
I'm having the same issue for about 3 weeks now. My car is a manual and whenever I put it in neutral, it hangs at 1,500 rpm for about 5 seconds and then drops off. Last week, the car would not start (tried 4 times - cranked perfectly, but no start). I let it sit for 15 minutes and it started but the check engine light was lit up. I removed the engine cover and reinstalled and the problem went away for about 5 days and is now back.
How does one "clean the cats"? Thanks for this post Selbyl

on my 6 speed it has done that for along time.
when slowing down I just slide out of gear at around 1,000 rpm (no clutch) and rpm stays down, but if I shift out of gear at even 1,500 rpm then the rpm will hang up there.
I do not have rear cats and dual exhaust.
Re: High Idle
I actually fixed the high idle issue last night.
When I acquired my Crossfire it had an aftermarket straight through muffler which was very loud for me (lots of drone). I replaced the muffler with a chambered one and now exhaust tone is much better and the drone is gone, so is the high idle! It idles normal now.
