When I start my car sometimes it rev's too high or if I turn the air conditioner on, it does it. What should I do?

Try cleaning throttle plate and iac hole with choke cleaner first they get sticky from oil coming in engine. Then check for a vacuum leak like a cracked vacuum hose/broken etc. Finally go to an auto parts store and have them scan for codes for you. They will do for free

Hi Donna,

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com. Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.
