Toyota Prado 2.7 litres - vibrating in idling when rpm goes 600

While driving the car is fine and smooth. But when stopped and still in D mode, the car starts to vibrate when the rpm reaches 600...but the vibration is not there when the rpm goes above 800.
I have replaced the sparkplugs too, but no use.

please suggest whats the issue on this will be.

    I had tried cleaning the injectors, checked all sensors and all are working fine and even replaced the throttle body controls and checked.

    but, when i contacted toyota here, they say the idling cant be set in these cars as all are computerised engines and its all set automatically and one cant manually set the idling setting.

    what shall i do now?


  • muthu101 Feb 08, 2009

    Thanks for your help. But, i have even checked the diagnostic done with original toyota diagnostic machine. It shows nothing wrong in the car.

    What else could it be??

Hi,
The idle setting is too low on this, causing the engine to vibrate at a resonant frequency with the cylinders. You will find that there are some speeds which cause annoying vibrations in exhaust or engine parts - even speakers or interior trim.
Setting the idle speed a little higher will prevent this. Take it for a tune-up as they can assess the CO levels and general condition of the engine, and stop this wobble.
Another thing to check is the engine mounts, as on some models these can fail, allowing the engine to move about excessively.

There may also be hidden reasons, suh as blocked injectors, faulty sensors or wear in throttle controls, but setting idle speed higher will solve the problem for you.

Thank you for using Fixya.

    It seems then that either a sensor is faulty or the engine mountings are worn.



    It's looking like you may have to bite the bulet and get a plug-in diagnostic to find the problem.



    Sorry this isn't a quick-fix for you.

Vibrations during idling

which engine.??? never post lacking engine ,here is why.
1.3 L G13B I4
1.5 L G15A I4
1.6 L G16B I4
1.8 L J18A I4
1.8 L BP-ZE I4
1.9 L XUD9 diesel I4

Ill answer in the generic and for GAS engines. only.
that is illegal RPM, the ECU regulates it to 800 all the time
that means the ECU can not regulate the RPM now, for many reasons.
and sure it vibrates too low, that is normal for all 4cylinders to do that.
no bad engine mounts never lower RPM to 600, ever.
they dont control idle speed at all.
the #1 reason for most cars to idle too low are:
1: EGR leaks, (clean it)
2: ISC stuck closed (electric idle speed acututor dirty) clean it.
3: gross misfiring , caused by bad spark or bad fuel mix.
4: low compression on 1 or more cylinders (real low) Do compression test at WOT. throttle.

Toyota prado idling speed

Yes, it can be completely normal, engine idling RPM's will have various factors that affect them such as temperature, altitude, oil level. In all cars the RPM's will change when the compressor for the AC is activated.

This rough idle business; With the AC on at a stop, the idle is about 600 to 700 rpm and vibrates the cabin. Can the dealer change a computer setting to correct this?

Problem on focus too . Without A/C on it idle's smooth . With A/C on the PCM - engine computer should raise the idle rpm. 850 . The only way to raise the idle would be to have PCM flashed programmed with up dated software . Adjusting the idle anyother way would cause check engine light problem , Wouldn't be able to get it to go out. Your best bet ,take it to the ford dealer and have the PCM reflashed .

Car pulses and rpm fluctuates what is it?

if the car is running does it have the check engine light on? if yes what is the code if no then check to see if temp sensor is reading the right temp by plugging in a scanner that can read all data to give you an accurate reading... if it reads wrong temp it can cause running issues

I use an AT212 Carina Ti 1999 Model. When the car is picking up there is a slight vibration which increases until 40KMPh and then wares off. There is a continous vibration when the car is stopped in Park...

Hi! Mine one is Ti Carina 1997. It was having vibration while in idle mode. The RPM was going up and down between 600 to 800. I changed the injectors, spark plug cable and even the distributor. Lastly, i found one of the AC vacuuam cable was faulty. Just change the cables to have a dignosis. If problem is not solved, then you gotta check your Engine's Head whether the components are rotating freely or not. A jam in head can lead to such kind of vibration, specially with A/C on as the engine has to spend more power to move the rotating components inside the head.

Hi djay,
the idle speed control can be adjusted on the pump by turning the adjusting screw that stops the accelerator lever.
