[quote=”shaun” post=162482][quote=”waylongoss” post=162453]hello i have a 2003 ford taurus with a 3.0 duratech v6 and it runs great it has 175K on it. but its been throwing a p1506 code and all that i can find is the it means high idle and it idles around 1,200-1,500 rpm’s and i changed the throttle position sense and the idle air control valve. and cleaned the throttle body the mass air flow sensor i had it checked for vacuum leaks and i had all the parts and electrical circuits tested and it all tested and looked good. but the other day i ran seafood through the vacuum lines and of course the exhaust was smoking and blowing away from the car and it was smoking a little bit around the engine it was coming from the bottom and i think i might have an exhaust leak but I’m not sure please help me!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

Seafood through the vacuum lines? Seems kind of fishy to me. Talk about stinky exhaust. But you could have an exhaust leak. As noluck suggested, look underneath for starters, you should find at least one. Look for the potential exhaust leak as well. If it’s before your o2, your sensor will be off. But that’s no excuse for high idle. Is the idle air passageway clean? And certain of no vacuum leaks, have another look for those

PS. I know you meant seafoam.[/quote]

i had the system smoked and no smoke came out of the vacuum system or out of the intake and i cleaned everything with the correct cleaners so ill look for an exhaust leak and go from there thanks guys!!!
