Low Idle problem with '90 GT-S

[Beatslayer]

Hey,

I've been having this idle problem lately. When the car is warm and I come to a stop and idle. The RPM's drop from 750 (where they should be) to around 3-400. Not sure what's causing this. Highway driving is fine, still lots of power. Fuel filer and pump are ok. Just changed the plugs to Bosch platinum plugs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah, My 88 GT-S has the same problem. :sad:

yeah me to with my sr5 and one of my friends as a ae92 gts 1990 and he put a switch in the dash to make the radiator fan
operate more so the temperature is cold enough that the idle is stable at 975rpm

TPS messed my corolla's idle up. Get that checked out.

I have the same problem! Sometimes it runs amazing and sometimes it idles at 5 or 600rpm, I though it was my air-flow sensor but I guess everyone is having the same problem!

I kind of got used to it now..

To hell with getting used to it! I hated that problem with my car. I had the head ported and polished $$$$ only because it was taken out in hopes of curing the idle problem. And it was just a tuning of the TPS.

What does it cost to get the TPS tuned?? Is it somehting you can do yourself?? Is this a stupid question?? :grin:

Umm i have no idea about adjusting the TPS. I had my Trini mechanic do it and even after blazin a joint and drinking a Red stripe he managed to get it perfect. Car didnt run risch after that. I suggest going to a mechanic who knows his imports. If you want ill hook you up with his number. He's in Sauga, if you ever wanna make the trip down. Oh IIRC it was about $80 bucks for the time it took to tweak it. Might be less.
