rough idle

Ok, i have started having problems now that it is finally getting cold out here in the desert, but the weird thing is my folks 2001 Corolla is having loss of power and stalling at lights problem too. We had it running great thru the summer after lots of O2 sensor problems last winter. Mine is 83...

So i'm having a bad time starting my 1985 3b motor. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds of cranking and when it eventually starts there's a loud knocking noise from the motor but immediately stops. The idle speed and acceleration vibration is immense and does not ease even at temp. Also there's a...

Ok boys and girls..here goes. '88 62 with 250k. Has run great for the last 4 years I've had it. Started having some slight hesitation after startup last year but would quickly smooth out. Most recently though it got really bad after having the radiator replaced, front axle rebuild with brakes...

Hey guys, So after pouring over dozens of threads on here and conducting hours of Google research, I have yet to find anyone with the same issue. So I thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone has experienced something similar and was able to fix it. So I have a 1999 Land Cruiser and I've...

Hi All! I've been a reader on this forum since June 2016 when I picked up my 1994 FZJ80, but this is my first post. Apologies in advance for the lengthiness, but I'm sure the more information I provide, the better you can advise me on moving forward. I got my LC from a local guy who said it had...

It happens especially after a rain. The red low battery light will also intermittently come on during the almost stalls. There's no codes being generated and I recently replaced the battery with a diehard gold. The rough idle goes away once warm but the red battery light will intermittently come...

So I have been at this for about a month now. Engine was running fine before and after replacement of valve cover gasket. About the third time starting up to move the truck the motor started running awful, white smoke and fuel leaking from the exhaust manifold to the point it puddles up on the...

I am having a very annoying issue with my FZJ80. When the truck first starts up the idle is ok but when I go to take off the truck will stutter and have no power from about 800-2000. The engine feels like it is stumbling with a huge misfire but after I get over about 2000 rpm it runs ok. Once it...

Here's the story: A week ago the wife and I are out running errands in the LC. Running real nice no issues. We go to Starbucks to get a coffee and while in line the engine starts missing. Started with a single miss then got progressively worse. Drove it home and it ran terribly all the way. Next...

I did a quick search for a rough idle but I didn't see anyone that was having the same issue as I am. When I start my car and drive around town, it idles perfect and runs great. Most of the time when I've been on the highway for a while and I exit the highway coming to an eventual stop, my idle...

Hey Folks, I'm at a bit of a loss trying to diagnose my cruiser right now. Cruiser Specs: 1997 LX450 150k miles Recent Maintenance: Valve cover gasket replaced Coolant flushed with toyota red PHH replaced Background: I've owned the vehicle for 4 years, have done regular oil changes, and...

and not just chunks, but small stones: Hard, abrasive, iron oxide rocks. I thought I'd share something new I just learned about the lowly EGR cooler. The cast iron EGR coolers can internally rust to the point that they'll eventually cough out disturbingly sized chunks of rust "stones" that...

Ok Mudders I need some help with P0300 no other codes. I recently had the truck stall and die. Dealership tested compression in cylinder #2 and it was spot on and collected a p1300 code. Dealer installed new ignitor and ignition coil. Problem solved! I drove for approxmatley 200 miles no problem...
