hi guys

 

hope u can help

 

i have recently changed my plugs and have problems from there, i refitted everything back to were it is surposed to be but when i start the car up it goes to 2000 rpm until it gets warm and then drops to 1200 rpm, do u think i could ave a problem with my vacum or even my idle sensor???

 

just so u know i changed the plugs bk to the original plugs and it does exactly the same

 

what do u think it could be????

Topic kick,

I have the same problem. when i start the engine it goes to 2000~1800 rpm - when it starts to get warm it goes down to 1200~1000 rpm. When the engine is cold and i do an ECU reset it will do the same when i start it and when it gets warm it stays between 1000~900 rpm.

 

When the engine is hot and i reset the ECU and start the car it goes for a few seconds to 1400 rpm and drops down to 700 rpm and the car works fine, until i stop the car and start it again when the engine is cold.

 

Also what is very annoying is the fact that when i start the car (cold) and it idle's at 1200rpm i start to drive the car it gets ugly. When i shift the rpm goes down (normal) but it stays at 1400 rpm! so driving the car in this state is terrible and sometimes it idles at 1400 rpm when i stand in front of a traffic light. it feels crap!

 

i replaced a couple of vacuum lines (not all yet) so the problem can still be a vacuumline.

Any other parts that could cause this problem?

 

i hate my Supra atm when its doing things like this :(

I believe that the RPM should be lower than what all of you have stated above. I had a problem on the NA engine (lexus GS300). Turned out to be a vacuum leak on the gasket inbetween the throttle body and Intake manifold.

THAT GASKET IS SUPPOSE TO BE REPLACED EVERYTIME YOU DO A SPARKPLUG CHANGE!

I also had an exhaust leak which I patched up (This may have contributed to the high idle too). Idle is now sweet and similar to my TT. Under 1500 revs for cold and under 1000 for hot.

Check your throttle cable hasn't been too tightened too, to mask misfiring/idle problems:
