It would just die at a stop. Removed the AFM and thoroughly tested. All tests passed. Turned out idle screw, runs normal. 3 days later, same thing. Turned out the screw again a few turns, runs fine. Now today, same thing. Gonna dig into this weekend, before the idle screw comes all the way out. I know my air-tube is leak free, so does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. 85 4Runner - With NEW Marlin 4.7 Gears!! It's a whole new beast! Re: Funky idle issue happening on my 85 4Runner [Re: Staceman] #1048552 06/27/12 04:52 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Might check the TPS idle setting: - http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/TPS/index.shtml#Troubleshooting If that IDL-E2 contact is not closing, the idle can be off. Might be yours is right on the edge. Also, maybe the o-ring on the idle adjustment screw is shot and letting the screw move on its own. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Funky idle issue happening on my 85 4Runner [Re: 4Crawler] #1048553 06/29/12 04:26 PM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,686 Phoenix, Az Staceman OP Body Damage is Cool Quote Also, maybe the o-ring on the idle adjustment screw is shot and letting the screw move on its own. I think we have a winner. After work yesterday, I adjusted it out to get it to idle properly again. This time I taped the screw to keep it in place. Working great. I'll check the o-ring this weekend. I'd suppose 27 years of hot-cold cycles on a small piece of rubber under the hood has got to give eventually. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> 85 4Runner - With NEW Marlin 4.7 Gears!!
