91 V6 2vz-fe with BIG issues please help!

[Jmak170]

Ok so i just got this ES250 with the 2vz-fe and it has some issues i am rather stumped about your help is greatly appreciated here we go...

1) extremly high idle - after starting the car from cold it idles at 2500 rpms I have cleaned the IAC the throttle body and changed the TPS still nothing.

2) Temp gage- After running for a bit the needle on the gage doesn't move at all and the engine is warm to the touch

3) Rad and A/C fans- When turning the key to the on position both fans are constantly running even from a cold start the a/c and electric rad fan is on.

4) Hard starting- The car is hard to start on a cold start you have to pump the pettle while cranking and after starting there is a strong exhaust smell.

again any help with any of the above issues would be greatly appreciated thanks!

1)
Try checking the timing it seems like after awhile the timing might be off
2)
I think this is a common problem cause my 2vzfe takes like 5 min of idling before the temp gauge begins to move a little. This may be attributed to old thermostat? I've had no problems with my car even with the delay.
3)
Not too sure but this may be an electrical switch issue.
4)
This I'm pretty sure is attributed to your cold start valve I bought mine off of this guy on ebay. It should be a simple switch.
Good luck hope this helps!

Buy yourself a Haynes or Chilton manual, or look on www.camrystuff.com for the manuals...your coolant temp sensor is shot (you will need a dvm to test it), and is causing all of your problems. The hard starting may be caused by a secondary problem: bad cold start injectors or cold start time switches will cause hard starting when cold because the engine is running lean when it should be running rich...

Do some searches on this forum, this has all been discussed many times.

Yeah, it sounds like a number of coolant temp parts are not working.

Coolant temp switch for the fans (at the radiator outlet or water inlet, not sure on the V6), coolant temp sender for the gauge cluster (if it is in fact not working), coolant temp sensor (for the engine ECU), and cold start injector time switch (for the hard starting).

Check for damaged wires and unplugged sensors in the engine bay and then start testing parts with a DVM/multimeter...
