SOURCE: 2003 Honda Civic runs hot when idling.

Check the cooling fan switch. It appears your auxiliary electric cooling fan isn't going on when at idle. and engine temp increases. While you are driving, air is being rammed thru your radiator as you cruise along, so it isn't overheating, at idle, that isn't happening, and the fan should go on as the temp goes up. When the ac is switched on, the fan is being signaled to operate due to the heavy ac load on the cooling system.

fuel pump is working but when accelerating it doesnt pump enough fuel up to the engine then it will fall on its face if it is a electric pump you may have to drop the tank if it is inside and replace it if it is on the engine replace it thats what is exactly wrong with it

SOURCE: My 2003 GMC Sierra Idles Rough And Cut Off

Before replacing the O2 sensors, I would check the fuel pressure. You may also try to have someone pull a trouble code from the powertrain control module to verify why the engine light is on. Do not replace any parts until this is done, otherwise your going to be guessing at the root cause, and it will get expensive with part replacement.

Testimonial: "Trouble code P0101 {Mass Air Flow}and code P0332 Knock Sensor.Thanks i saved a lot money."

High idle 2003 dodge ram 1500 changed the TPS it helped a little, reset the ECM that helped a little more. still idles high till it warms up then occasional high idle should i change the IACM?

It is normal for vehicles to idle high until warm up.
First thing I would do is scan the vehicle for codes.
Otherwise you will be changing things until the end of days. It could be a vacuum leak, maf sensor, air filter, spark plug, battery cables/voltage.

2002 subaru forester. will not idle or take fuel properly. have replaced idle air control, coil, timing belt, etc. does not read any codes.

Try unplugging the MAF sensor, the check engine light will come on but the engine should run almost normally. If this is the case replace the MAF sensor. MAF's seldom set fault codes.

1996 rranger 2.3 cuts out and almost cuts off at low rpm's and it idles hight

I have to ask the basics, how long since a tune-up, any applicable trouble codes?
Cleaning the throttle body and idle air control may help?
One thought is to unplug maf sensor, start vehicle, if idle is now normal, you found the problem. Could be wiring circuit--connector or maf sensor.
There might be a vacuum leak causing a problem? If fuel trim is high at idle, but, returns to normal under load, it's usually a vacuum leak.

Bank 1 and 2 rich, rough idle. Have replaced upper and lower intake gaskets, TB gasket, MAF sensor, throttle position sensor, EGR valve, all 4 o2 sensors, both cats, all 8 fuel injectors, fuel pressure...

I'm going to assume the temp sensor is reading normal ?
And there is no restriction in the return line to the tank ?
Any chance there is excessive fuel in the oil ?

Have 2003 suzuki aerio won't idle after temp light goes out

the engine can not idle right for vast reasons.
wont idle, does that mean
1: stalls.?
2: or wont regulate, hot.
3: or both.
So , no DTCs, no cell lamp glowing , running?
you replaced some very expensive parts, by guessing?
checking fuel pressure costs $20 for the tool.
do you have a $50 scan tool? if yes, you can scan all sensors.
and see if the sensors all look good. do they?
did you buy a used maf ,or new suzuki maf $$$ or the china clone.
most of the clones are no good.
best is , used, and from Cardone.(rebuilt by pros)
the China clones , read wrong, the ECU does not know its wrong
because it is not stuck at 0 or 5v. so assumes its right and is wrong.
with a scan tool you can see the MAF read wrong. do you?
what i do is plot TPS angle, RPM and MAF output and log that.
then at home read the values.

the #1 reason for stalls is leaking EGR. ever clean and service it?

2003 ford taurus idle problems had trouble codes

A code P0174 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
  • There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor. and your solutions are.
    • In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner . Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling
    • Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
    • Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure
