Question

My 1998 Sable engine races sometime when the car is first started. It idles really high.?

Answer 1

its probably the idle air control sensor or the throttle position sensor.

Answer 2

It could be the throttle body's gasket air will get in and make it idle high

Answer 3

get new spark plugs and wires..  Maybe a new rotar cap.  If that doesnt work...  well it will probably work.  Look for the distributer rotar cap combo and just replace the plugs, wires, rotar cap, and distributer cap

Answer 4

It shouldn't go that high. How high is too high? If the idle returns to normal as the car warms up, maybe it's your imagination. If the idle stays high or stays high for a long time, I would guess a temperature sensor is failing or has failed, or the throttle body tps need cleaning. I don't know. I'm tired.
