I would get the IBD read as this will give code for the faulty part/sensor, it may be the vacumm isn't being held

SOURCE: 2003 escape idling to high, exhaust pipes turning orange red, not cataylic

Your escape is a 3.0L duratec motor. Is the motor itself overheating or just the pipes? The high idle is often related to a dirty Idle Air Control module or IAC, which is located on the top of the motor near the throttle body. If you clean this, or replace it, after a few days the high idle is often times solved.

SOURCE: 1989 honda prelude enigne idles high then low irratic

I had the same problem on a Rover. There was a leak in inlet manifold that was caussing the problem.
To verify, spray some sealant to temporarily seal the inlet manifold .and the eratic idling should disappear for some time.
If it does, you know there is leak in inlet manifold which you can take of and refit with a new gasket.

SOURCE: replace PCV valve 2001 taurus duratec engline

I dont think it is the PCV but its a good idea to replace the PCV at least once a year either way, and its very cheap, usually $2-$5 at autozone.

SOURCE: Exhaust pipe rattles when car idles. Had muffler

Check the heat shield on the Catalytic Converter, after a few years they start to rust off and rattle. Crawl under the Pathfinder and bang along the Converter and muffler area and see where it's coming from.   Good chances are, it's from the heat shield since you already had everything changed from the Cat back.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Engine idling high

Idle speed control valve stuck(clean with carb cleaner), possible split in vacuum pipe or one has come off. Check all vac pipes, spray around vac pipes with the carb cleaner with the engine running, see if engine speed changes, if it does you have a vac leak.

High and sporadic idle speed. I just cleaned the IAC valve, put everything back together and now my idle is wack? Any ideas what it might be?

Hello my name is autoteck21 sounds like you dealing with one of two things. #1 Either you have a vacuum leak in one of your hoses or your vacuum box at the worst case one of your vacuum control solenoid. #2 Your idle air control module (under your throttle body.)
To test #1 take a can of brake clean or carb/choke cleaner and in small 2-3in areas spray little spots while engine is running listen too your idle for any changes (you will here the differences) if so there's your leak.
To test #2 find the little connector (2 wire) under your throttle body (when standing in front of your car lower front side under intake pipe hose clamp)

I was told by a mechanic that my 2006 Saturn Ion needed a purge soleniode and vaccum canester. The gas sap light and engine light stays on. I replaced gas cap and they went out for couple of days now back...



The purge solenoid valvend canister are part of the EVAP system. The automatic diagnostic method tests the integrity of the EVAP system for leaks by pressurizing everything and then checking to see if pressure is lost. The filler cap is the main seal to the gas tank and if this is loose then compromises the ability of the system to be pressurized. Put a film of grease around the rubber seal and fit the cap tightly.

The following is a brief overview of the system (any spelling anomalies are due to my British background). I hope you find it helpful :-



What is it? The EVAP system is a collection of pipes and devices designed to prevent fuel vapour emission to protect the environment.


Where is it located? Pipes run from the top of the fuel tank to the carbon (vapour trap) canister which can be located between the inner and outer fenders (wings), on the inner fender or on the firewall (bulkhead). A pipe connects the canister to the throttle: the pipe exits just in front of the throttle plate.


How does it work? The EVAP system passively stores the vapour from the fuel tank in a charcoal filled canister. When the engine is running above idle speed the ECU opens a purge valve to the pipe leading to the throttle body. A vent valve allows the ingress of air into the canister and this encourages fuel vapour to be drawn out through the purge valve to be added to the air intake mixture to be burnt. The opening of the purge valve cycles with engine speed. The purge valve should be closed during idle.


Symptoms of faulty EVAP

  • Erratic idling - If the purge valve fails to close the ingress of unmetered air will compromise the ECU's ability to maintain a suitable air/fuel ratio.


How to check? Simply clamping off the pipe from the EVAP purge valve should result in an immediate improvement in engine idling performance. Remove the purge valve and try to blow through it. If there is resistance then the valve is mechanically OK. Applying voltage to the electrical connections should open the valve and remove any resistance to blowing.


How to fix? If the valve is jammed open permanently or fails to open when signaled to do so then replace it. It may be possible, taking the greatest of care in the process, to open the valve to clean it up in the hopes of affecting a repair. If the solenoid itself, however, shows 'open-circuit' due to an electrical break it is best to replace it.

try flushing the heater core out with a garden hose ,as for the idle well this vehicle is different to the europeon models for this age so i would advise asking a local mechanic to have a look for you but i suspect the idle control valve ,but in all honesty any electrical components can be affected by the cold from radios to sensors or stepper motors like what control the idle

Air solenoid valve

If you mean idle speed control valve ISCV which allows the right amount of air pass the throttle flap when the engine is idleing so it dose not stall then the only thing you can do is clean the inside of it the best you can and remove the oily **** that builds up inside and stops the solidnold moving. If this fails a new one is the only option.
If you also mean a vaccume swithch which opens and closes to allow vaccume to operate different components and has at least 2 rubber pipes attached there is no fix as they are seal units. Just check the pipes are not spilt or fallen off. hope this helps
