Idle Speed Sensor January 02, 2008, 10:11:58 PM My 87 Cougar is having a little difficulty. When I start it up and after it warms up for a little while the car will idle at a very low speed. Then often times it will go ahead and just die. Would this indicate a bad speed sensor? Also as a side not when this happens the voltage goes down as well. Quote Selected
Idle Speed Sensor Reply #1 – January 08, 2008, 10:36:39 PM Voltage drooping is simply because of low engine RPM. Not uncommon. Knowing what engine/injection system you have would probably help diagnose the problem. If it's the 3.8 with CFI, yes, the ICM is quite possibly dead, but I'd check connections to it first before replacing it. That ain't gonna be cheap, IF you can find it. Quote Selected
