02 Camry Idle Problems - Just replaced plugs - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I recently purchased a 2002 Camry 2.4L, 120k miles. I thought it would be a good idea to change the original spark plugs, so I did. I purchased NGK BKR6EIX-11 stock # 3764 Iridium plugs replacing the Denso SK20R11's. This was a direct OEM replacement as recommended by the Auto Zone computer system. There is no miss or anything , but now the engine does not want to idle, it stalls unless your foot is on the accelerator. Anyone have a similiar experience and what do I do to remedy this situation?

Did you disconnect the battery?

Yes, I did and already went back to confirm that the terminal was tight. Why do you ask?

your car must relearn to idle.my car seems prone to this and ive figured out the quickest way to make it relearn.drive the car until up to full operating temp,turn on a/c,place car in park or neutral for us 5-speed guys,watch and wait.seems to depend how fast it idles at this point as to how fast it relearns.turning on the a/c speeds it up enough not to die.sometimes mine idles at the first line on the tach.can take between 30sec. to 4-5mins.
