Idles up high

Hello,

This could be a few different things. It could be a problem with your vehicle's Idle Air Control[IAC] valve, it could be a vacuum leak, it could also be a bad ground from the Powertrain Control Module[PCM], or a bad PCM itself. Let's start by checking for vacuum leaks first. Here is a link to a guide below explaining how to find vacuum leaks:

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out. We can go from there if needed.

Hello again,

Yes, this would. The wire that you pulled off is either going to be a Intake Air Temperature[IAT] sensor, or a Mass AirFlow[MAF] sensor, or a Manifold Absolute Pressure[MAP) wires, but more than likely IAT wires. The Power-train Control Module[PCM] needs this information to know the temperature and most importantly the volume of air entering your engine so it can add the proper amount of fuel accordingly. You also might have inadvertently caused an intake leak there as well. Try replacing the air filter with the exact filter that came out and plugging back in the electrical connector and report back with what happens.

Thanks,
