Added (1). My 1991 Ford F150, when warmed up after about 10 minutes, the idle will increase to around 2500 rpm's and will not come down to normal idle. I can't figure the problem out?
Which engine and carburetor? That year was produced with more than one.
You should check the wires to the following sensors, and the output of each sensor in response to what it is measuring: coolant temperature; exhaust oxygen; inlet manifold air flow; crank angle; throttle position. Any or all of these could be sending wrong signals to the computer, causing it to boost the idle; it's probably NOT the computer itself, just the sensors or wiring. There could also be an idle air controller and/or cold start fuel injector malfunctioning. Also, check the basic mechanical accelerator pedal, carpets, and throttle control cable to make sure they are not sticking (preventing a return to idle when you take your foot off the gas pedal).
When was the last major tune up? Have you done any work or does a shop do it for you?

- What makes a car have a bad idle and stall when its warmed up? I have a 2002 ford taurus ses and all my hoses look good. What can make my car have a bad idle and die after is been running for a little bit.
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- Ford Ranger 4.0, 172,000 miles rough idle when starting after sitting overnight or after 2-3 hours. Starts 1st crank, idles rough 1 minute? Or so and then smooths out and runs fine. New heads and gaskets. Cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body and air intake sensor, new IAC valve, new air and fuel filters, new PCV valve. No smoke coming from exhaust and No check engine light. Any ideas what's causing this rough idle?
- What RPM should my car idle while driving and what RPM should I shift? I have a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. 5 speed manual transmission. This is not the first manual car I've owned, but I'm curious. I never really look but I've read in some places that in order to save gas you should shift at 2 RPM before I used to shift at around 3-3.5 RPM. Also what's a good RPM my car should idle at while I'm in gear? Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear. What's the ideal RPM to stay at before needing to shift.
