2001 Ford Escape idle ran up/down to normal this AM,chk. eng code shows RANDOM
idle ran up/down to normal this AM,chk. eng code shows RANDOM
What is your question?
It was 44deg's. today, check eng. lite came on . Idle ran a little high [ 1200rpm] to a little lower [ 700prm ] than normal at startup then ran normal . Shut it down after 30 min. running time for 45 min's.& at restart it started doing it again. Recent tune up done , running STP INJ. CLEANER in good fuel. Most part's under hood original @ 215K on FORD ESCAPE XLT w/ 6 banger. AUTO ZONE / ORIELY'S checked code's which both showed random. Code's reset after & so far no lite. Seems to me something to do w/ IDLE stuff ? Oil changed few month's ago along w/ full tune up a few week's ago. Run's solid & it does not surge, throttle return spring seems weak
What makes this problem better or worse?
happened as it was 44deg's. today...unknown
