92 Stanza XE (Idle problems )

rufus · Nov 9th, 2005, 09:41 PM

92 Stanza The vehicle starts fine and idles fine, when first started. The idle goes up to about 2000 rpm once the vehicle has been running a few minutes. The temp gauge goes up to hot about the same time. The cooling fans come on, but the vehicle stays hot with a high idle. I don't have water mixed with the oil and I don't see any water leaks. Any help will be appreciated.

Two issues:
One I think that your thermostat is stuck or messed up or maybe a water pump followed by the radiator.
Two: I would check out your IACV to see what would be causing your high idle.
