I'm concerned about the potential consequences when the idle percentage is excessively high. Could someone explain what might occur in such a situation?

Engines generally operate at an idle speed of approximately 600-800 revolutions per minute (rpm).

Older engines may exhibit higher idle speeds, reaching up to 1200 rpm or even more during the warming-up phase.

However, if an engine continues to rev up while idling, even after it has sufficiently warmed up, this could indicate an underlying issue.

High idle speeds are not only inefficient but also wasteful, as they cause the engine to consume more fuel than necessary.

Additionally, prolonged high idle speeds can lead to extra wear and tear on the engine components, potentially shortening its lifespan.
