The wrench light means that you have a trouble code in the ECM,and it will need to be taken to a shop to be hooked to a computer to see what it is.From the way you describe it,its going to be the idle step motor.
Good Luck!

SOURCE: car lost drive power when orange wrench light came on.

I-95 is scary enough w/out the car causing problems. There is a problem indicated when the wrench light is illuminated. You need to check for codes stored on the cars computer to determine what is wrong. Parts stores will plug a hand held scan tool into the diagnostic port of the car, and 'read' any codes. They can explain what the codes mean, and suggest ways to fix the problem. This is a free service. If you have any questions at that time, post them here with any code #'s. The condition you describe is 'limp mode' which the car goes into to help prevent damage to any components. When you turned the car off, it reset the system, and the car was drivable. If this happens again, pull over as soon as you safely can, turn the car off, wait a coulple of minutes and restart. Get it checked out soon, as it could lead to other problems,..

SOURCE: Engine vibrates, shakes car at 1700 rpm, smooth at 2000 rpm

Something similar happened to my van, and it ended up being that I needed to replace a tie rod in one of my wheels. Hope this helps! I know this was posted awhile ago.

SOURCE: 2000 accord v6 engine idle goes up and down after start up

I am having the same issue after I changed my battery today. Upon doing some research it seems like there is some way of aiding the computer with proper idling. I haven't done it yet... plan on going to the dealership where I got the battery, but from my understanding you disconnect the negative line from the battery for a few mins, reconnect, and then apply gas at 3000 rpm for a few mins until the fan kicks on. AND this will help reset your car to proper idling. Good luck

High rpm when warming - choke problem?

It is a little high but if the ambient temperature is very low it would be ok providing you understand that there will be a bit less economy. You can fine tune the choke to drop another notch on the accelerator cam so that it would idle at say 1500rpm and the gear engagement would be less harsh

Rpm does not drop below 1000

No,only on carburated engines it,idles down to the set point,on yours,it's fuel injected,pushing gas pedal won't kick idle down,should go down after a certain amount of time,does it automatically,If you start and drive a 5 mile ride and stop at a stop sign,it should idle at it's set point if there's no engine problems,which may be.5 to .7 on your tac.When you normally first start,it will idle between 1000 to 1200 rpm's,don't push on gas,let idle say 15 seconds,put in drive and go.

Toyota Rav 4 1997 .Check engine comes on .Codes are P0301,302,303,304116 . What to do.

The engine coolant temperature is high. Your other Codes are for missing cylinders on cylinder 1,2,3,and 4. Get the Codes cleared and start over. Changing the plugs and wires,etc could have generated the missing cylinder Codes.

Autozone,Advance, and Oreilys will scan for free.

Check your engine for an IDLE SPEED CONTROL SOLENOID, which may be in the intake. Or a fuel pressure regulator.

A lot of times people work on the spark side and forget the fuel injectors. They can cause a miss.

The car hesitates like it is going to stop the engine. I noticed that the RPM was at 2000 and it dropped down to almost 0. Check light along with wrench light came on. Wrench light went out check light...

Wrench light, is "Service Engine Soon". Check light indicates there is a stored and current engine computer fault. Often referred to as a DTC,,,Detected Trouble Code. Stop by your Autozone or Advance Auto parts store and they can plug in a scanner that will tell what faults occured and possibly what you can do to take care of the problem,
