Grandpacisco New User Jun 25, 2010, 11:54 AM Post #3 of 5 (1710 views) Re: Idles very high Sign In I have been driving the cougar with the engine light on, for about thre years. I spent near $ 3000 dollars between dealers an small shop mechanics, and the engine light is still coming on Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jun 25, 2010, 8:02 PM Post #4 of 5 (1708 views) Re: Idles very high Sign In Wow.....I really don't have a good answer for that.... As far as you high idle, those had a problem with the IAC motors, the diaphram would split causing a high idle... As quick check, take the iac off ( 2 bolts), block off both ports with cardboard & put the iac back on, if it now idles too low & almost dies, the problem is in the circuit or bad motor.............

I have put in a full tank of gas a fuel system cleaner. Please would somebody advice what else to do.
