Where is a good starting point for troubleshooting an engine that idles too fast?
Feb 19, 2008 by divnlurch | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Car info: '02 Saturn SC1 1.4L DOHC
Symptoms: Engine code- engine idle speed too high; idle speed in gear 800-1000 rpm, in park goes up to 1200; idle starts to get rough when rpm drops below 800.
start by cleaning out your throttle body by using some sort of carbon blaster!!! You could have a sticky butterfly, or faulty IAC. Or Airflowmeter!!

Ventricular Assist Devices: Alive with No Pulse
22.11.11
By BARB BROWN
Scenario: You are dispatched for a 55-year-old male who was seen lying unconscious through a kitchen-floor window by a neighbor. On arrival, you gain entry and immediately notice several cables connected to what appear to be two batteries and a round box; an additional cable is attached to the patient. As you do your primary survey and open his airway, you see a medic alert necklace indicating that he has heart failure, insulin-dependent diabetes, and hypertension.
On examination, the patient is unresponsive, pale, and diaphoretic, with four to six agonal respirations per minute. You cannot palpate a carotid or radial pulse. The neighbor states that the patient lives alone; he doesn't know much more and cannot provide any additional medical history or events leading up to the emergency. So, what is your treatment plan? Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? Advanced cardiovascular life support? Disconnect the cables getting in your way? Investigate the purpose of the cables? The answer might seem obvious, but keep reading before you make your final decision.
