    Im having problems with my 94 yota(22re EFI). When I first start is it idles really high...even afeter being on for 10-15 min idle does not drop. Ive check all the vacuum lines & they seem to be fine. Any suggetstions?

    There's a heat control that water goes through on the passenger side of the block. This acts as a choke,idles high when cold ,then drops the idle once the engine reaches running temps. Could be bad or a broken wire @ the unit!:cool:

    thanks for the info...exactly where is it located? is it the knock sensor youre talking about. Done some research & it may be bad also...pulled the trouble code & got 13

    well after many hours of research online & testing just about every sensor i could think of (Knock,coolant temp...etc) & doublechecking all the vacuum lines...my last option was the IAC valve which is located directly below the throttle body. Unplugged all the hoses & throttle sensor. Removed throttle body & discoverd that the outlet on the IAC was completely blocked not allowing the coolant to flow. Disassembled & completely cleaned the throttle body with some parts cleaner & installed a new gasket hooked everything up & it completely solved my idle problem. Purrs like a kitten! Just hope this helps somebody with the same problem!
    Thanks Truck Action for your suggestion!

    I'm not sure how Code 13 has to do with IACV since Code 13 is no RPM signal. interesting
