hey everyone,
i've read previous forums relating to hard or erratic idling. my 90 celica gts is similar in that it starts rough on the idle but smooths out when the engine warms up. I also find that the throttle sticks a bit as when I push the throttle back in place the idle lowers even more.
i've already done a tuneup that includes: oil change, new distributor & rotor, new ignition wires, new iridium plugs, coolant change and thottle body cleaning. although previous threads have said that the problem is in the idle control valve, I have no idea what it looks like as the location area is all i know. i'll probably dump some fuel injection cleaner next to clean the injectors. other than that, i was hoping someone could offer me some solutions and describe it so i can better locate the problem. pictures or diagrams would be really helpful.
