Check coolant temp sensor that send signal to the ECU. Common failed part that acts like choke on older cars.

SOURCE: 97 Camry Rough cold idle, weak accelleration and noisy exhaust

Lots of times the idle air control valve gets stuck on these engines. You can try cleaning it. Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body. Start the engine and spray throttle plate cleaner through the hole in the bottom on the throttle body. This will run the cleaner through the idle air control valve. make sure to keep the RPM's at about 2000 to 2500 throughout this procedure. You may need to install a new idle air control valve if it continues to happen.

SOURCE: Intermittent rough idle on 2002 toyota highlander

before you do this I would get some wooden qtips - the long ones auto detailers use. take off the air filtrer assembly and spray carb cleaner into the air\fuel intake and use the qtip to wipe out the inside of the intake. I had the same problem with my highlander a year ago and this fixed the problem.

My car has rough idle, what is wrong

First thing I do to older cars is a compression test on the cylinders. If they aren't up to par, I advise customers to not invest money into it. Unless they want to replace/rebuild the engine.

1990 4runner

A couple of possible problems, low compression on one or more cylinders, possibly a burned valve, possible headgasket leaks, have the compression tested and checked for a headgasket leak, both of these conditions would cause a rough idle and then seem to run normally when warmed up.

I have a 1990 corolla carburettor. When its at normal operating condition the car jumps and runs rough. When you accelerate the car runs well. It only plays up when at idle. But when cold it runs very...

Check for a malfunctioning EGR valve. This valve is only selected to perform when the engine is warm. It has a vacuum diaphragm which can crack and lead to vacuum leaks. This will cause rough running. The EGR valve should be vacuum checked to see if this diaphragm is leaking. This valve can also stick open due to carbon deposits. When the valve sticks open, the fuel/air mixture is leaned out and rough running ensues. This problem is practically expected on a vehicle of that age.

2000 toyota corolla 4 cylinder runs and idle rough after the car gets warm or run for a while. the engine shakes like a spark or cylinder is missing or not getting fire.

If it has been awhile since you have had a tune up, thats what I would do first. My car did the same thing and a tune up fixed it. If your check engine light is on, try to get a code. That will pinpoint you in the right direction. If you need anything else, feel free to write back.

My 2001 Escort, 70k runs great but a definate vibration at the steering wheel. I notice it more when cold andwhen it warms up it is not as bad but still noticable vibration at the steering wheel. ...

That mechanic wasn't lying. I currently own three of them and I know a lot of people that own them and they all have a rough idle. The engines are internally balanced and they don't have dampeners, so you get the engine vibration transferred to the car and that is what you are feeling.
