92 pickup low idle - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

my pickup has been idling at approx 500 according to the tach in the dash...i cannot figure out what is causing it...also is it better to advance your timing a little more than the recommended 10 degrees? i have new ngk wires and plugs, new distributor, new cap and rotor, new fuel filter, and new air filter...no idea why it idles rough. i am missing one of the caps on the #6 wire that holds the wires on the distributor cap...maybe a problem? any response would be appreciated....thank you

Does your idle drop when the brakes depressed?

no...just when it is sitting still in neutral w/ the e-brake on...on start up it will go to about 800 like normal...and then all of a sudden, it drops to about 500 on the in dash tach...maybe the tach is messed up?

i have an idle adjustment screw on the left of the throttle body, 22rec, and if you turn it, cant remember which way, it will change the idle, and try usin seafoam.

i hear alot about seafoam, what is this exactly? im assuming its some kind of foam used for finding leaks but how exactly does it work?

yeh try and use the idle screw on the throttle body it will raise the idle manually so it wont be so low...i have mine at 900ish
