Lance Orton Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 what should the idle speed be (in rpm) at startup on my 96 ES300? if my resource is correct, it starts at about 1000 rpm for 5 seconds and then drops. but what should it drop to? the idle air control (iac) valve got stuck so i bumped the idle a hair so i could drive the car until i could clean it. i'm cleaning the iac valve in the morning and need to know what to reset the idle at (yes, i forgot to look beforehand). thanks in advance. lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Fix the IACV before you know what your idle is really at. Never adjust the idle by the screw it is computer controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never adjust the idle by the screw it is computer controlled. well, the screw can definitely increase the idle. i'm working on cleaning the iac valve. thanks.

Lance the WARM idle for the car is 750rpm. +/- 100rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Orton Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Lance the WARM idle for the car is 750rpm. +/- 100rpm. yeah, i've noticed that its WARM idle is at the first line below the 1k mark. i'm assuming that's where it should be given the computer is controlling it. but i have a friend that has the computer hardware/software to interface with the vehicle's computer and when he comes over later this week i'll know for sure.
