Girlfriend's Camry missing at idle - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi folks, my first time post. Pardon my intrusion....

I replaced the spark plugs, the miss is getting worse. Soon the car won't be running at all. My feeling is it is the map sensor or egr valve, but I have no way of knowing. I disconnected from vacuum what I THINK is the map sensor, located at the top right hand corner of the intake manifold (1992 DOHC 16V) and the car tried to die, plugged the line for a sec, reconnected, and the idle roughness disappeared. I have NO engine light coming on at all, but the car is getting where it will not idle. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve

did you check the iac valve? it could be clogged

what happens when u bring the rpm's up?

could be coil, dizzy rotor/cap, wires....

Yeah.... come to think of it, a bad idle could be just about anything

it only misses at idle, runs great otherwise.

jus turn the idle up a bit till you find out what the problem really is

i had the same thing on my car and have been trying for a year to find out what it is

i've checked and changed everything
plugs
wires
rotor
cap
etc...

The miss is still there from time to time, but not near as bad as it was. ????
