High idle rpm and running hot
« on: Sep 30, 2007, 12:57AM »
Hi everyone,

I have an '89 Pintara with the 2.4.  For some reason it always idles around 1300rpm except when the A/C kicks in, then it drops to around 900rpm.  1300rpm seems like a really high idle.  The temperature needle also goes well above half way if I'm in slow-moving traffic or catching a lot of red lights.

I'm going to try cleaning the two temperature sensors, but is there anything else I should be looking at?  Can I adjust the idle speed?  Any help would be appreciated.
