I live in Arizona. Since we have been having to use the air conditioner this season, we have had a high idle problem. Upon start up (whether the air is on or not) the car idles at 2000RPM when the norm has only been about 500RPM. All during driving, the car idles high, and does not shift smoothly unless you let off the gas. We have had the tranny looked at and it is fine, the computer does not spit out codes for MAFS or IACM... SO what the problem is, we are stumped.
