Check Engine Codes / P0507
P0507 Code
Idle Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected
What it means
The engine idles too high — typically a dirty throttle body, a vacuum leak, or an idle control fault.
Can you keep driving?
Yes.
Common causes
Listed most-common first. Fix cost depends on which one it turns out to be — check your quote free below.
⚠️ Don't get ripped off
A throttle body cleaning plus an idle relearn fixes most of these. Be wary of a full throttle body replacement quote as the first move — ask if cleaning was tried first.
