Idle Speed

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Tracer, 1994 Mercury Topaz, 1994 Ford Tempo, 1994 Ford Probe, and 1994 Ford Escort. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Engine idle RPM is fixed and cannot be changed by standard adjustments. A scan tool must be used because control strategy and idle speed is controlled by Powertrain Control Unit (PCM). See IDLE SPEED in ADJUSTMENTS - 4-CYL article in this section.
