P0507 on Dodge
Idle Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected
P0507 on Dodge vehicles indicates idle air control system rpm higher than expected. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Dodge model — most commonly on Dart. This code means the engine is idling faster than the computer's target idle speed, typically by a set margin such as 200 RPM above commanded. The engine control module manages idle by metering a small amount of air around the throttle plate (via an idle air control valve or electronic throttle), and when it can't bring the RPM down to target it flags this code. The most common real cause is unmetered air sneaking into the intake — a vacuum leak — that the computer can't compensate for. It generally indicates extra air entering the engine or a problem with the idle/throttle control system. Typical repair costs on Dodge range from $50 to $600, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0507
- •Vacuum or intake air leak (hoses, gaskets, intake boot)
- •Dirty or sticking throttle body or throttle plate
- •Faulty or stuck idle air control valve
- •Leaking intake manifold or throttle body gasket
- •Stuck-open PCV valve or cracked PCV hose
- •Dirty mass airflow sensor giving false readings
- •Failing throttle position sensor
- •Leaking brake booster or its vacuum hose

- Engine Stalling at Idle (Software and Throttle Body Related)2013-2016
Darts across all engine options experience random stalling at idle, particularly when coming to a stop or sitting at traffic lights. The issue stems from a combination of electronic throttle body carbon buildup and PCM software calibration problems. The 2.0L and 2.4L engines are most commonly affected. Several TSBs have been issued addressing idle quality.
