Car idles at about 1500 rpms for about 5-10 minutes when first started. It eventually drops to about 700 rpms after it warms up. Seems like that is too high in both instances. I have removed IAC and cleaned and also replaced t-stat. What would cause this?
What is your question?
Car runs fine otherwise. I can’t find any vacuum leaks either.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Definitely worse when cold
