I Have had this issue for a long time on mine, and spent a lot of money with all parts recommended on this issue, until I saw this and did it,, It worked.. Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea.
This video was valuable to me today. It made me take closer look @ kick down cable on my 96 Limited. To my surprise adjustment was to tight which occurred over 7 years ago when I changed valve cover gaskets. Ive done lots of work since then such as replacing fuel injectors etc every thing ran good so I left adjustment alone up until today. I made adjustment to spec & within half mile after doing so ECU cleaned up providing Improved acceleration much smoother transmission shift.
ACTUALLY WORKS!!! 97 4RUNNER SR5 250K Had high idle at stops, drove me crazy! Rev it up then it might come down 2200 to 1200 but the same problem next stop. Put spacer in, and car idles at 800 when warmed up.
50% Simple Green...50% water....keeps engine clean. Give it a good rinse with just your garden hose....blow dry with air or use your gas blower. Stay away from your alternator....
crazy how this video got recommended to me years later, anyways for me to fix when my high idle is to loosen the tension on throttle cable by adjusting the nuts that keeps them secure, kinda play with it until you get the proper RPM you want, also change my spark plugs and good tune up basically. My 4Runner idles at like 6-700 lol very smooth. My 01 taco that i used to have idles at around 900 in thought it was a beast too, i think it was higher because it had K&N CAI, and maybe idk what im talking about lol
lol damnit, just replaced my IAC and STILL have high idle, found this video went out and yanked on my throttle springs, and boom, idle fixed! this is my problem!!
Half a mpg more, ha ha! These engines are pretty much bomb proof when taken care of, but in no way mpg champs! Nice video, might try this on my friends ‘99.
I've been going through this same process of elimination, replacing everything, for about two years...no engine code just intermittent weirdness. Just replaced the IAC, which starts now, but high idle. I have not tried TPS, which I will do because the symptoms are precise. Will possibly do the fuel pressure sensor, if tps doesn't work, although I do suspect it's the ECM. Read it was ECM on another thread that was having the same issue...🤞
@@emc4685 I’m having high idle issues and the 4runner doesn’t want to start after shut off sometimes. It never threw a code till the other day 2 codes TPS and EMC. I haven’t replaced either yet.
how do i get it to idle higher? When in gear, I'm sitting at 600 rpm and it's not producing enough juice for the high output amp to charge the battery unless I'm >1K rpm.
my 99 Taco is having this same issue, butterfly valve has no clearance in the bore but the shaft moves about 1/16". my TB looks a bit different than yours so it may not work but i was wondering what size washer you purchased, the onne i bought was making the throttle stick open to whatever position it was pulled to.
Got a throttle body from a 5VZ with 90k miles along with a brand new Toyota/denso MAF sensor solved the issue completely. Still running stronger than ever at 255k miles. At the time of my post I only had 180k miles on the engine.
@@naterick230 Dude thats awesome, im glad it worked out. I have a 1999 Tacoma 5VZ, after cleaning the throttle body It stopped idling so high. Every once in a while it feels like the engine is running a little rough. But that could be a number of things.
My 97 4Runner Idles at 1500 rpm in Park and Neutral even once hot -- does anyone know the normal idle in Park and Neutral once the engine is warmed up? Thanks for your video.
Brandon Knight the butterfly shaft moves side to side causing air to leak around the butterfly plate when it’s supposed to be closed. The washer keeps the shaft from moving side to side
Pretty should it would cuz he pretty much capped her a little.. tryna do that to mine tomorrow morning cuz mine shuts off and I have power on.. I noticed w no gas she stalls 🤦🏻♂️ Myb my fuel pump idk but I’m tryna solve it cheaper for now wish me luck 🙏
I don’t know how people are doing this successfully.. I did it and the TB shaft binds up because now the washer that spaces it is now in contact with the TB housing
Al parecer esa pieza estaba un poco suelta y permitía que poco aire se filtrara dentro y eso causaba altas revoluciones. Descubrió que cada vez que jalaba esa pieza el motor se estabilizaba, entonces puso una rondana en la base para mantener la pieza bien apretada y eliminar ese problema
