Hello Internet!
I have a 2009 Ford Focus SE 4 Door Sedan, Automatic Transmission, 135,xxx miles, no accidents very well maintained.
All was fine until two weeks ago when the idle RPMs started changing. Currently, when the car is initially started (either after being outside or stored in the garage over night) the idle RPMs are around 1500-1700.
That idle speed holds firm until I out the car in drive, neutral or reverse - regardless of how long I let it idle for.
The temperature has ranged between 15 degrees farenheit to 40 degrees farenheit.
The car was not doing this last winter.
There is also a noticeable ticking sound which may be the timing belt?
Could anyome provide insight into the high idle? Such as whether this could be a timing belt issue, transmisson issue, sensor, etc?
Thanks!
