wan8dan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have ES300-96'. I thoroughly cleaned the idle air control valve and air intakethrottle, idle problem gone, but 2k miles later, low-to-no idle problemre-surfaced when I start the engine. What else could cause it that I haven'tlooked at? Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wan8dan Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 96 Lexus ES300sometimes (especially when car left un-driven more than two days) get low idlespeed (less than 100 rpm) at cold engine start, have to step on gas pedalslightly to keep it running. But a minute or so, idle goes back to normal.Sometimes I also get high idle speed at cold start(ie: more than 1500 rpm).I've cleaned intake throttle, idle air control valve, and MAF sensor about 9kmiles ago, but problem still persisted. Not sure if this is indication thatidle air control valve or throttle position sensor is going bad. Any advicewould be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
