Idle Air Control Systems - Idling continues

Take vehicle to parts store like auto zone and they will read the check engine light for you for nothing. This will cut out a lot of guessing and tell you exactly what the problem is.

@ firebird338 I went ahead and took it to the parts store for a reading. It came back with the original: P0505 'Idle Air Control Systems'. No further info on that. However, the person who looked at it also thinks it is "not" the IAC... It 'IS' a leak from somewhere out-of-sight.

@ Js08016 Yes, I have been barking up the wrong tree. In addition to what I have mentioned to 'firebird338' post, I have learned that the hoses looked worn out; therefore, I will upgrade them when all this is cleared up. After they did the 'code check', the person blow smoke (smoker trick) into a line that would show the location of the leak, but his method was not strong enough to find it. He did use WD40 to try and locate the area while the car was running. I am positive that it IS a leak. I am have scheduled a full diagnostic to figure it out.

@Js08016 I will have him try that and let you know. As 'mechanically blond', I am learning something new every time. It is sad that I am learning the hard way. I appreciate it very much!

If you are getting a Idle Air Control code could be the gasket for the idle air control is bad and is sucking in air may just needs to be tightened down or replaced. To check for a vacuum leak would use carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner and spray around suspected area and motor will rev up if there is a leak.

@firebird338 Thank you! I will have those checked out! Much appreciated!
