What's wrong: An intermittent high engine idle condition can occur due to a malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor.
Why it matters: This creates a signal which is misinterpreted by the engine control software, causing a high idle speed condition.
The fix: Dealers will replace the engine controller software to correct erroneous speed sensor signals.
