My idle air control valve went bad on my SVT. Unplug it and see if your car idles down. If it does I'd say your valve is bad.

Make sure the throttle body closes all the way, if so try cleaning the IAC valve

It does go down when i unplug it but my IAC valve is brand new it only has 500 miles on it and it does close all the way and it still idles high... when i first start up the car the idle will go down to 800 but as soon as i give it some throttle it idles high after?

That what mine does. I've talked to SVT Jared and he seems to believe I have a vacuum leak. Bc his wont even idle at all with it unplugged. So somthing is feeding our engine air.

You have an intake leak. Try listening to the sound of unmetered air in the engine compartment. Probably a big leak to make the RPM that high. I use brake clean spray to identify the area where the leak is. Should be pretty obvious once you spray close.

what will it do if u spray close?

If it is your IAC valve on thing I've done when I'm really low on cash is take the IAC valve out and clean it out first, the. Put some brake fluid on that little rubber boot-thing so it won't be quite as dry and it expands a little bit. Some broke college kid advise right there lol.

It would increase your idle speed.

My car is doing the same thing. I checked for leaks replaced iac cam sensor crank sensor egr dpfe and still no help.

well your not supposed to clean your IAC just buy a new one i had the same isue on startup it would idle high then go to about 800 then when given throttle went up to 3000 and stayed there for a good 20 sec i replaced the iac valve and problem solved i got it on ebay for 20 bucks new

My svt is doing the same thing. I am in the midst of fixing mine up tho. I replaced all my vacuum leaks with new hoses. My IAC valve is old and it has about 10k miles on it. I am just going to replace it with a new one and see if it changes anything. Id like to get a motorcraft but i know they will be more expensive. What brand is the next best one to go with?? Thanks

Joe,
If you haven't already changed it out...Duralast will work fine.
