* Excess deposits in the Q38 throttle body. Refer to Throttle Body Cleaning (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Throttle Body/Service and Repair/Procedures)
* Restricted exhaust
* Mechanical conditions that limits engine speed
* Parasitic load on the engine-For example, a transmission condition, a belt driven accessory condition.
瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.
P0507
* Vacuum leaks
* A throttle valve that does not close correctly
* Verify the correct operation of the crankcase ventilation system. Inspect for the following conditions:
- The routing of the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system
- Vacuum leaks in the PCV system-Refer to Crankcase Ventilation System Inspection/Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Emission
Control Systems/Positive Crankcase Ventilation/Testing and Inspection)
瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.

DTC Descriptors
DTC P0506
- Idle Speed Low
DTC P0507
- Idle Speed High
Circuit/System Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The DC motor located in the throttle body drives the
throttle blade. In order to decrease idle speed, along with spark and fuel delivery changes the ECM commands the throttle closed reducing air flow
into the engine and the idle speed decreases. In order to increase idle speed, the ECM commands the throttle plate open allowing more air to pass
the throttle plate.
