gld98682 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 1997 ES300 w/122,000 miles... Occasionally will not idle on a warm re-start unless I keep my foot on the throttle. If foot is taken off the throttle, engine immediately dies. Keeping foot on throttle for about a minute seems to clear the problem. Any ideas what is going on??? Cold starts are always flawless. Thanks for your input. PS 120k service was done and did not change this situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I saw the title and thought maybe it might be something else. But no it is another repetitive question which is so common i have it in the FAQ. thanks for searching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Cheung Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks SK. I'll address the IAC.:whistles: ← Hi, just as a reference to you, I fixed the exactly same problem of my 97 ES300 by spraying throttle plate cleaner to clean the IACV. It has been like 3 months and the problem has not come back yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy man (me) here would like to just spray clean without taking anything apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburnickas Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 not being a pain here I would also change the oil in a few miles. I would also run a can of a gas treat "clearner" BEFORE draining the oil but after cleaing TB and Ivac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2pc Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I need to do this as well. Can I remove the IACV by just removing the Air Hose? Looks a little tight to get to the 4 screws from underneath or do I also have to remove the whole throttle body? Any TB cleaner will do?

Toysrme Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 If you want to remove it all the way, air hose + screws + electrical connector. The TB doesn't have to come off barring some special reason like stripped bolt/screws, or something silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2pc Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks Toys, I prefer not to remove the TB if possible. Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
