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.
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.
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.
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!!
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....
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.
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.
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.
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 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

Holy shit! Just pulled on it and it dropped! Thank you...

awesome!
Ur a genius!!! Solved my wifes 4runner high idle problem immediately!
Genius comment
Worked perfectly. Way cool bro. Thank you. Great video.
You ARE THE BEST!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Awesome - thanks for sharing - you got me squared away as well!!!
I just did this and it worked!!!!!

can i adjust IAC valve?
@@MM-sw1lo i mean…the cable is literally what control that valve for open and close…i think lol
I did this and it worked very well. My idle went from 1600 to 700. Thank you!
When you're was idling high, would your 4runner lunge forward when you would go from park to drive?
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!!
thanks for posting 👍
how the hell is your engine bay so clean
MY dad's car . His engine is always clean.
He must watch ChrisFix
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....
what is happening is it is sucking air though the rod when u pull it tight it gets a little bit of new service on the rod and seals the leak
I just used a snap ring . Didn’t need to take off as much
You rock men
What is your normal idle after it had time to warm up?
My 99” 4Runner limited had the same issue, new tps sensor, gaskets, IAC. Wound up being a burnt ECM 🤦🏻♂️, fixed it for $250

You can easily clean the idle control Valve in this engine.
my runner has thos problem but i dont have the money to fix it. I will try this asap.
Did the fix work for you?
This the first time i hear about it im gana try it asoon as i get home
Thanks!!!

Any updates on your issue?
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.

Did you ever figure out what size washer fixed the problem?
I have a high idle I can't bring down from just taking this off
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.
Здравствуйте, подскажите чем красили воздушный коллектор?
Wish you showed how to take those cables off
I see vid posted 6 years ago...did the fix keep the idle problem away, or did it turn out to be something else?
Tanks 👏💪👍🙏👌😃
Gracias amigo de que tamaño es la rondana que se pone?

I would imagine you could adjust the throttle cable to make it tighter. Might take a few tries before you get it where u want

Thanks for your video.
The repair manual says " Idle Speed: 700 +/- 50
I have a Toyota tundra 2002 six cylinder 3.4 my problem is low idle,and because of that is throwing the code po300 any idea? thank you:)
Sorry. I haven't run across that problem yet. Hope you find a solution.
Check your throttle position sensor
Clean your throttle body!!
Yup clean that throttle body bro prob dirty and stuffed up w corrosion need to breath
My 1996 345k miles sr5 3.4 doesn’t even have a check engine light on 😎 payed 1k for it i fixed it and walla!
I dont see how a just a washer would solve a vaccum leak becouse that's essentially what it would be, was it a high idle after warm up?

@@bradleyjohnson2273how’s it running now?
What cable is missing in the slot next to the throttle cable? Do you need it?
Fleximous III kick down cable for the transmission. He might have a manual
Was your high idle in park and neutral or all the time?
I know right? My high idle is in park and neutral at 1500, but in drive it's 1000.
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
The washer you're using is too thick.
Interesting

Just clean your IAC VALVE.
Yes we seen it about 10 times just get to the point put a washer in there and call it good you don't have to tell your whole life story
mine has 250k miles and its cleann🤌🏻
