Sounds like you have a vacuum leak that is causing the high rpm. it could be an intake gasket, vacuum hose or a problem with the egr system.

Per your description, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak.
Check all vacuum hoses at the engine, make sure no hoses are disconnected, cracked or damaged.
Disconnect each hose at the source on the engine and see if the engine idle stabilizes.
Let me know what you find and we can go from there.
Regards.

SOURCE: 2004 Grand Am With High Idling Problems too!

Make sure your throttle cable is not bound up on anything. Also where the throttle cable ends at the throttle body make sure it moves freely and there is nothing obstructing its movement..Rpms are a little too high to be a vacuum leak.

You may have a bad control valve or regulator. Did you adjust the idle properly?

1. Disconnect the connector on top
2. Adjust idle to around 650-700k rpm
3. Reconnect the electrical connection

After reconnecting, the idle should jump up around 700-750k rpm.
The idle screw is fail safe setting in case the ecu cannot set the idle. The rpm's set by the idle screw are supposed to be below the ecu/stock idle.

If this doesn't work, you may have a dirty or bad Idle Air Adjuster and/or Air Regulator. For information on cleaning that, you can refer to this page http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/157335.html

You can test the IAA by supplying power to the plug with the car off. Listen for any clicks or humming. That will signify that it still may be working but is possibly stuck. The Air Regulator is for high idle for warming up your car. It has a bi-metal spring inside that rotates a disc closing off an airway to bring idle to normal after a couple minutes. If it dies it will stay open and give you permanent high idle. If it gets clogged usually no high idle for warm up.
You can remove it and peer through the end. If you see a thin sliver of light, it's open. Connect 12 volts + & -, wait a few minutes and see if it's now closed. If not, it's likely dead. It can be opened and cleaned if that's the issue.

It's a safety issue. The computer is trying to save your engine and transmission. If there isn't a light, there still could be a code. It would be in history codes. It takes a scanner to retrieve them. Unless your a race car driver or doing 200 MPH all the time. The RPM's shouldn't stay at 4000 RPM's.

Yeah, the Volvo dealer that you are dealing with is the proverbial POS - if possible cancel the deal, get your dinero back and get the car from an outfit that can properly service the vehicle.

I have a check engine light on and it is shifting a little late into 3rd gear at about 4000 rpm, when cold. Any suggestions or ideas as to what could be going on, if anything?

Check your Transmission Fluid first. Also have it Scanned to find out what the Light is about. You could have a Faulty Speed Sensor on the Transmission.

88 volvo 4 cylinder turbo station wagon. It idles at 3000-4000 rpms. If I hit the gas pedal quickly. It idles down for a few seconds then back up high.

It sounds like a good size air leak somewhere in the intake system. Check all the vacuum lines for cracks or loose connections. Check for gasket leaks by spraying brake parts cleaner along the intake manifold mating surfaces and listen for an increase in engine rpm . Don't use carb cleaner for this, or you could end up with an engine fire.

Has anyone checked your "rev limiter" ? It is a sensor that will not allow you to "rev" your engine past a cetain RPM.
It is usually only "on" when you are in PARK, but it is something to consider.
Please let me know what you find.

1999 Lincoln Continental 4.6 32v engine...idles smooth in park & in gear. In park I get a engine miss when revved to 4000rpm. Also seem/feels like I have a miss at lower engine speed when being driven....

hello, i first must ask why that engine would EVER be reved to 4000 RPM? it is likely you are up against the rev-limiter and your ignition is made not to over rev. be very careful....4000 RPM on that engine could/will severly damage your tourque convertor........very expensive it is common for the EGR passages on that model to plug up with carbon, remove valve, clean ports, and retest for low speed miss/hesitation, good luck....marty
