Hello, new member but long time Escape owner. I’ve had a ‘05 3.0L Escape and Mariner and currently an ‘07 Escape 3.0L. I’ve had it for 5 year now and all of the sudden ran into a high idle problem. At cold startup it would idle at about 2000 rpm’s and then drop to about 1500. After researching it sounded like the IAC valve was the culprit. When I unplugged it sure enough the rpm’s would drop to 750ish. I went ahead and replaced it on Monday. The rpm’s went down to about 1300 at startup and 900 at normal temperature. But it sounds like it should be about 750. Today I performed the idle relearn procedure but it didn’t change anything. It’s still about 900ish and about 750 when stopping in traffic with the brake pressed. Was the IAC not the real problem? Any suggestions on what else to look for? Thanks in advance!
