problem #1

Jun 192015

Impala 3.4L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

The car one day started idling very fast and sounded like it was ready to take off. This started becoming dangerous because it would happen in the middle of traffic! A few days later the check engine light came on, and I assumed it had something to do with the high idle. I took it to Advanced Auto and they read me the codes that came up. 3 codes for "idle air control, system revolutions per minute higher than expected" They told me the idle air control valve needed to be replaced. I then drove it home and lost almost all engine power, I plan on fixing this problem soon.
