Es300 Engine Slightly Racing At Idle

Recommended Posts

Folks, I've got a '93 ES300 that bumps up and down about 200 RPM at idle when in gear. If I put it in park it seems to settle to a normal idle range. Any idea what might be causing this? It runs great at higher speeds and I don't notice any hesitation, however the idle thing is really annoying.

Also, I remember seeing a post recently about a rattle noise in the front end at low speed. Can someone provide me some info on this or point me to the post? Thanks in advance.

can you tell where the rattle is coming from?

i had an annoying rattle that i could hear only at low speeds and it turned out to be the wheel caps being loose. I just bent the metal brackets on the back of the caps out and pounded them back on tight....

dropspace, the rattle is coming from the front end. it could be the caps. i'll take a look at them based on your suggestion.

sw03es/squarehat, it used to idle fine, cold or hot. the ac does not have to be on for this to happen.

latoilette, can you elaborate on the ptu and iaa? i am not familiar with those.

thanks for all the replies.
