  • ▶ PLEASE NOTE: at 4:11, the screw info shown is not correct. The screws are metric M4 and M5, I'm not sure how I ended up writing that nonsense that you see in the video.
    This video explains the cause and fix for too high or too low idle RPM problems on Toyota Rav4 1.8L 1ZZ-FE petrol engines on models made in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. The component responsible for these issues is the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV), which I show you how to remove and clean.
    Although the process will be different, the same procedure may also apply to other similar engines like the 2.0L 1AZ-FE, 2.4L 2AZ-FE, and to other cars that come with these engines, like the Toyota Corolla, Celica, Avensis, Camry, and some Lexus models.

    The video is very good, excellent technical level. it is wrong to lubricate the o-ring with this oil. the o'ring rubber will degrade, try something else, silicone grease.....it's the same problem with the brake disc caliper boot

    Excellent !
    Couldn't have had a better tutorial.
    I have an imported JDM 2003 Toyota Corolla Fielder wagon with a 2ZZ-GE engine. There are others with the 1ZZ-FE and 1NZ-FE engines also.
    (It is less work to remove my throttle body, than it is to remove yours)
    Our country has bumper to bumper traffic, so life is very hard on the throttle butterfly and its shaft in continuous stop-and-go traffic. My car is doing 235,000kms !
    The idle RPM slowly climbed up this year to about 1300RPM. In some situations I used to remove my foot from the accelerator as the car went on its own, tipping on the brakes to slow down.......a dangerous situation indeed !
    Removing the throttle body, and holding it up to bright light revealed spaces between the butterfly and the throat of the throttle body, especially on the cable-quadrant side. Backing down the idle screw did not help........The spaces were there !
    Yes, there was wear. Wear means more air, means higher RPM.
    I was fortunate to find a used throttle-body in my country. (We have an active Japanese Used-parts industry)
    There was no light filtering through the throat when held up.
    I did "hammer-and-chisel" the three IACV screws, then got new Philip ones for re-assembly.
    The two electromagnetic actuator "petal" screws were slackened with a pair of giant pliers. New Philips ones for re-assembly.
    I used the same procedure you did for cleaning and re-assembly. (I am 68 and knew Singer machine oil as a boy)
    Upon re-installing and securing the throttle-body and starting the car, I still got a 1400RPM idle.
    The electromagnetic actuator screws were slackened, and it was turned anti-clockwise. The idle dropped.
    Yes, the screw holes on the electromagnetic actuator are elongated to give about 10 degrees of turn. Clockwise to speed up, anti-clockwise to slow down. This augments the function of the idle-screw.
    I have my engine idling now at 800RPM.
    No more issues. I found out everything by trial and error over an extended period.
    Great video for those of us who did not know.
    The Toyota part number for the IACV gasket is 22215-7A680

    A truly excellent how to video packed with good, accurate information. I have a 2006 Matrix (1ZZ-FE) with 223,000 miles in which the idle comes down fine after startup, but is starting to occasionally drop to 500rpm. Might be time to service IACV. Also, using an xtool scan tool, I plotted RPM and IAC duty cycle, which responded perfectly to pedal snap (duty cycle increased momentarily). I think it is starting to get stuck when rotary valve is closer to closed position.

I cheaped out with the gasket too , just coated the old one with some sticky brown aviation gasket sealant. Anyway yeah the little car runs normally again , no more annoying 1800rpm idle

    Very very useful and helpful. Surprisingly I haven't been able to find such a tutorial on 1zz engines. Everyone keeps talking about Throttle Body Cleaning but none has talked about the ICAV. I'm going to try this on my celica 2000 with 1zz. I had cleaned the MAF Sensor, Air Filter, and Throttle Body from visible side only (which might've been a mistake as the car now is smoking a lot constantly). The idle seems stuck forever at 2.5k RPM and no matter how low I adjust the Idle Screw, it doesn't come down.

It fixed ONE of the issues where RPM were stuck at 2k and won't come down. But the other issue remains the same (although reduced by a lot) where RPM randomly drop down to less than 800-600, giving the feel like it's going to stall.

I hope it works fine when I receive it. I don't have a mini lathe like that and the tool is cheaper. Greetings.

    Just fill the valve up with oven cleaner. It strips built up carbon, varnish and dirt. Oil on the o rings is bad as it dissolves the orings leading to vacuum leaks, use fluorinated grease or synthetic wheel bearing grease.

    • @TheRepairLair
      @TheRepairLair  10 месяцев назад

      I haven't paid attention to the coolant reservoir temps on the 1zz-fe, but for some perspective, at ~15 degrees C, my 1cd-ftv diesel rav4 keeps cold from idle pretty much indefinitely (thermostat almost never opens, coolant temp shows ~85 degrees via obd scantool). As long as the temp gauge never goes over "operational temperature" (meaning about the middle of the temp gauge) when you're driving then there is no reason to worry :)

Is it the same for the rav4? but is there any possibilities of getting air in the coolant system? I would like to have your point of vue of that. Thanks in advance!

    • @TheRepairLair
      @TheRepairLair  3 года назад

      Hi! I don't believe its necessary to drain the coolant, but if a lot of it drains out when you remove the throttle body, you might want to bleed the system and top up the coolant in case any air did get into it. Here's a video explaining the details ruclips.net/video/xeTgmdRkQtY/видео.html

    Hello, I did a test, I removed the rubber from the air filter, so I had access to the throttle body, I started up and gradually covered the air intake that enters the IAC valve, as the covers stretch to stop until when completely covered, the engine stops. But I can't find the fault, which is that it starts and as it warms up the rpm goes up to almost 2000 rpm. Then when driving on the street or highway, if you leave it in neutral, the rpm goes up to 2000 and goes down to 1000 until in a moment if I stop the car they go to 2000. A query, I made contact, I measured the female card of the IAC with tester and 12 volts to the positive (black cable) arrive at the connector, nothing to the ground cable and the other signal 0.14 volts and the signal 0.14 volts..., I also tell you that if I disconnect the connector from the IAC, the car runs and does the same problem. I am very concerned that it may be the ECU that may be sending an inappropriate voltage. thanks for your help

I had changed the tranny fluid after I got it (twice,leaky gasket). But since it looked pretty hammered, I think the second drain, filter and fill has been immensely helpful.

The normal thing would be between 850 and 950 revolutions per minute.....and also at the end of the video I see that this engine has a problem in the chain...thank for video

      Hi! Thanks for the comment. To start - i have skipped showing the steps for scanning as most people wouldn't have the necessary tools. But i did, indeed, scan the ECU beforehand with toyota techstream, and it didn't report any error codes. In fact, i own a 1cd-ftv diesel rav4, and lots of mechanical engine issues (for example, stuck egr, sticking turbo vanes or sticking turbo vacuum regulating valves) are not reported, so my conclusion is that scantools are not fully reliable for diagnosing these older (

    Hi! Is it okay to clean the throttle with throttle cleaner in my RAV4 1zz-fe? I just saw that there's a huge hole for that IACV, I'm worried that the chemical would enter that vent and ruin my IACV. Thanks!

    • @TheRepairLair
      @TheRepairLair  2 года назад

      No! Do not clean the throttle valve without taking it out and spraying liquid on this car. If you just want to clean the throttle butterfly valve, you can spray throttle cleaner onto a rag and carefully wipe the valve area, but under no circumstances should you spray the cleaner directly into the valve, and have any leak down into the IACV.

    Wonderful clip.
    A 09 Corolla my son just acquired has a similar issue-idling at 1100rpm( to my prospective 1100rpm is an issue because all my vehicles' idle are 600 to 800). I have never owned Toyota myself so this is a question for you. 1100 rpm is acceptable idle speed for toyota especially Corolla?

      The ECU adjusts the RPM's to go higher when you turn on the AC, its normal. The default RPM for 1az-fe, i believe, is about 700-800, but no problem for it to rev either a bit lower or a bit higher.

      They could have been referring to avoid spraying anything into the IACV if cleaning the throttle valve without dismantling? I don't believe there's any issue spraying as shown in my video - the plastic part is fully sealed and no cleaner is able to get into the motor internals.

      @TheRepairLair  2 года назад +1

      I don't believe the engine would die when cold due to a bad IACV, but sadly i don't know what could be the cause for this as i haven't ever had such an issue myself. I would like to suggest you check that your butterfly valve is clean, and then inspect the idle stop screw as well as the arm that rests on the stop screw - i might be completely wrong here, but maybe it could be that the idle stop screw or the stop screw arm have worn down, and now the butterfly valve closes completely so the engine gets almost no airflow. Though i don't think this would explain how the engine runs when warm, but doesn't when cold. Worth taking a look though. Please let me know if you find the problem!

      1zz-fe is very unpopular with rav4s because they only come with fwd rav4s, and there are almost no rav4s with only fwd. Most of the rav4's in UK have either the 1az-fe (2L), or 1cd-ftv (2L diesel).
      USA has the 2az-fe which, if i remember correctly, is pretty much exactly the same as 1az-fe but with a longer block (2.4L). But they don't get the diesel (the one in the video isn't mine, mine's the diesel version, and i LOVE it)
