Unusual Idle Behaviour

Do you mean loosen as in start to remove the plug? or the actual screws? The car drives 100%, only when stopped the idle problems kick in like. Its so annoying, when people are crossing at the lights they think i'm going to run them over because the cars revving up and down like mad lol. And yeh that pipe is connected at the top. Just tried that there now, also pulled out the EFI with it, but no luck. Totally agree with this, it's not getting to the root of the problem, although nobody as of yet can seem to find the problem, so this is looking the only way to sort out the idle, although im not going to do this just yet, il hang off for a bit until ive went through all other possibilities. Yeh I've had a few people say this. where abouts is the air control valve on a 4E/5E? So i can check it out? I've now checked my ignition timing. another thought I had was the chance that I got the pipes connecting to the TB mixed up? also noticed a slight leak of coolant coming from one of the pipes of TB. Maybe thermostat not working? The car as it stands now, has high idle at start and when warm rapidly hunts up and down. -

Im not sure about the TPS being calibrated, is that something you could do yourself? I loosened it there and no change to the revs, if anything though they went higher. Yeh i have double checked the pipes, fuel regulator, and the other 2 that go into the intake mani. -
Alright? Im hoping somebody on this forum could shed some light on this problem. Basically I have a n/a 4EFE. The only mods are Glanza 'S' intake and fuel injectors with a HKS panel filter. Bout a month ago i decided to take my TB off to give it a well needed clean along with the fuel rail. When I connected everything back up I started the car and the choke didn't appear to come on. It was revving at around 1K (stable), where usually it would start at around just under 2K. I didn't think much off it as the car hadn't been started in over a month. So I drove the car about and when I stopped at a set of lights the car was now revving at 2K even though the engine was now warm. It has been like this for weeks now, same pattern, low idle on cold, high idle on warm, also quite often the idle hunts up and down rapidly, (going from 700rpm to 2000rpm very fast). Although this isn't all the time. At first this didn't bother me, but along with the effect of this the fuel consumption has dropped a fair bit. Thinking it was maybe a problem with the ICV or TPS i went to my local scrappy and picked up a second hand TB for 50 noop. When I installed this, there was no change whatsoever. I reset the ECU also and double checked for any vac pipes I might have left off and changed the fuel filter along with the spark plugs. So I took it up to my mechanic and there was no luck their, he tried swapping TB's over and resetting the TB to factory settings through the diagnostic panel. He also tried other things like using gasket sealer around the TB etc he spent over 12hrs trying and testing things bout could not come to a conclusion. So this morning I took it up to toyota to see if they could diagnose the problem. When I went to pick up my car, they said "because somebody else has worked on the throttle body, we don't want to touch it, because we dont like interfering with other peoples work" but they told me that if you disconnect the sensor plug from underneath the TB the car behaves normally again although it obviously isn't ideal. So i when i got home I disconnected that plug while the engine was warm and the revs dropped from 2.2k to 1.5k mark and the idle stopped hunting. Then when I connected the plug back the revs went straight back up to over 2.2k and then started hunting erratically again. So I then swapped that whole sensor part of the TB with the other one from another TB. But there is no change at all. So basically my mechanic can't find the problem as both TB's are giving the exact same results and toyota wont go near the car! Only thing i can think of is that both TB's have malfunctioning ICV's. But i doubt it as before i disconnected the TB everyting was working fine, now that its back together its not. Has anybody had this problem, or know of anything else for me to try? any input would be much appreciated. Here are some vids if they help. Car with everything connected Bottom sensor disconnected then reconnected Thanks Adam

if theyre meant so send you a confirmation email, check your spam box, sometimes email accounts can pick up genuine emails as spam

Im running it under linux and it is still in beta, but i find it works well, especially speed wise, although few things i don't like, there is no drop down menu for last viewed websites, and when I'm scrolling down a page it jumps about all over the place. But no errors. Its good, but needs improving, Best feature though has to be 'incognito mode' lol Although can't go far wrong with firefox, would be my preference, never use Internet Explorer, too many vulnerabilities with it!!

Same here, quality of them was excellent

Im trying to wire up my front foglights, I bought a wiring kit with a relay and an on/off switch. i plan to mount the switch beside where the headlight adjuster is, but i cant find anywhere to feed the wire from inside the car to the engine bay. Can anyone shed any light on this, is there a space that I can feed the wire through? cheers adam
