Related Codes

P0505: Idle Air Control SystemRelated

The idle air control (IAC) valve is not maintaining proper idle speed.

P0506: Idle Air Control System RPM Lower Than ExpectedRelated

Idle speed is too low. The IAC is trying to raise it but cannot.

The engine is running lean on bank 1 — too much air or not enough fuel. The ECM has maxed out its fuel trim trying to compensate. Common causes include vacuum leaks and dirty MAF sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is high idle dangerous?
Not directly dangerous but it wastes fuel and makes the car lurch forward when put in gear. Fix it for safety.
Can a vacuum leak cause high idle?
Yes — a vacuum leak lets unmetered air in, raising idle speed. The ECM adds fuel but cannot reduce the extra air.
