Hi All,
My FJ40 idles nice and low until I drive even as little as a mile, then she idles very high. However, when I give the accellerator a tap, she drops back down to low idle. Any ideas what might be causing this? :idea:
Thanks, Scott.
 
Thanks Cliff! I'll check the linkages (if I can find them) this afternoon when I get home. I was aiming for a carby rebuild but after a long search for "sticky linkages" I have a bit nore to go on. It seems that a rebuild may not be the solution.
 
An update. I have not played with the carby at all, but I replaced the positive crank ventilation (PCV) valve, which was rattling like made, and the high idle problem has magically disappeared! Lovely.
