It "idles" at 2000-2500 rpm and will not drop at all, I disconnected the IAC and no change. There is a P0171 code and the check engine light is on. I'm suspecting the MAF is bad however would a bad MAF cause a high idle like that? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CAspdr50</b> <br /><small>Member # 7689</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,1,10,22,7,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> anyone? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,1,11,11,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> P0171 is a bad O2 sensor, passenger side.<br /><br />MAF shouldn't cause a high idle; if anything, it would cause a poor idle condition. <br /><br />The IAC valve can still be inop even with it unplugged. If it is stuck open, there's the problem. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
