- can not accelerate
- high idle up 3000
- usually when Im in traffic the rpm down to 300 to 400 rpm

Please help me to detect the problem please thanks
-i already change the servo but still the same then I clean the servo and the throttle but still the problem occurred. It started good when in the normal temp. But when I stuck in a traffic it begins to drop to 200 to 300 rpm. When I step the gas the car is hard to move.

Since this happens in traffic when you are stopped, are you sure the engine isn't heating up? I would check the air filter to make sure it is not clogged. Also we should run the codes to see what comes up.

Please run down this guide and report back

I feel it is something simple. Check for engine vacuum leaks and check the idle air control valve (IAC). The IAC is what regulates the engine's idle. It could be going bad.

If the engine is running good other than the idle issue, I would say that the cam sensor is fine.
