The idle speed control valve on my 96 Jag VDP was sticking in the open position causing a high idle in the 2,000 RPM range. I had to disconnect it, remove it and manually pull out the plunger to reseat it. I bought a new one, installed it on a warm engine and it worked perfectly the first time. The next day and thereafter it started again with the high idle. I can drive the car the way it is but it will stall when cold if I do not keep the revs up. I checked for vacuum leaks, cleaned the throttle body, checked the air intake and even had the EGR valve replaced as part of a recall. Any ideas?

TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP.THEY WILL ADJUST AND REPROGRAM IDLE TO LEARN.WHEN YOU BUY A NEW IDLE SPEED CONTROL VALVE THE PCM HAS TO REPROGRAM TO LEARN ITS NEW IDLE POSITION.

How to adjust idle revs on a toyota glanza ep91turbo?

NOT told TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW, and what the RPM now.????
800 RPM hot is par for hot idle.
in USA all are cars 1988 up EFI are controlled by ECU and not the humans did with carbs in the good old days/ by LAW here.

HOT idle RPM or cold IDLE RPM.??? or both are wrong.
not told that. and is key to any cure for sure.

Toyota glanza ep91 turbo , manual

what country is it. sold to first. (market export)
1989 to /96 car?
I bet this is the real name, fully]
Toyota Starlet 1.3 Glanza V Turbo (EP91, Japan)

glanza V was powered by the turbocharged 1331 cc 4E-FTE
ECU controls actual turbo and injection rates and more.
and sold to
Japanese market, although some used private imports made their way to the UK, New Zealand, and many other right-hand drive markets.
most cars but gee 1989/96 are very old cars.
had 2 idle speed controller. (this is pure experience not your car that the USA does not have)
IAC (thermal controlled idle (coolant temp.) only
ISC (ECU control hot idle above 65C coolant temp)
this how all ours worked here, 1986 to 2000, then the ISC took over all idle controls.)
no 2 engines use same controls,
on some old cars high idle hot is caused by these factors.
1: coolant never gets to 82c(bad thermostat)
2: vacuum leaks.
3:IAC bad or ISC , clogged up, and jamming/sticking
3: ECU is stuck in limphome, idle controls suspended.
4: on our cars the EPA dictates IDLE and has no screw to set.
5: TV plate gummed up and sticks (throttle valve)

the best answer is to first buy the service manual
and read ISC page (idle speed controls) ECU controlled.
read IAC Idle Air controller. page. water temp controlled.

Increase then decrease idle when engine is cold especially

cold engine idle surge. (problem)
RPM range of surge not stated
300-700 or 800 to 1500? (range is critical to diagnosis)

bad fuel
running summer fuel in winter (running old fuel?)
needs a tune up bad, see the list in the operator guide.
idle speed controller,sticking or EGR valve same. (clean them)
location not stated, so cant guess about local air temps.?
no other symptoms, lack of engine power? etc?
was it ok last week, or better, when was the last time it was OK?
1week, 1year?
surge , causes, on a tuned engine might be:
1: too lean. so lean the ISC can not control idle. rpm low, stalling
2: too rich, flooding, stalling, spark plugs foul (look at them)
3: weak compression in 1 or more cylinders.
4: bad spark.
5: air leaks, in the plenum causing , ISC to lose control.
why high RPM?

especially?
well that means it fails hot too.
and there is a simple tests. for hot surge.
is engine fully hot? 180F and holds solid there?
say rpm is about 800
and you turn on head lights, heater fan and (not AC) and defrost.
the RPM must hold or the ISC is failing.
ISC -= idle speed controls. (all EFI has this function)

RPM's rev high and low

"Could this be a throttle positioning sensor problem?" - probably not. The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) tells the computer how hard you are stepping on the gas. It does not really control idle speed.

Your problem is more likely the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. This is a small electric valve that the computer can open and close in small steps to set the idle RPM at the desired point (a little higher when cold, then down to normal speed when warm). The IAC valve is notorious for getting all crudded up inside. Then it sticks open too much (really fast idle speed) or sticks shut (really low speed).

You can try taking it off the engine, cleaning it with carb cleaner spray, and putting it back on. That is easy and cheap.

If cleaning does not fix it, you need to buy a replacement valve and put it on. Pretty easy to do but costs more $$$.

P0011 and P0300 codes on 3.5 altima. Car shakes on idle and low RPM. Changed the cam shaft sensor and the problem persists. What more can I do?

Altima 2013 p0011 and sometimes a p0300
Thought like most its stalling must be the timing control solenoid that tells to advance or retard the overhead cam.
So I changed the solenoid for for overhead cam. BTW it is normally recommended to change all 3 but money limited and the other 2 are difficult from the top.
After traveling for work most of the year 2020 I started my car few days went by and no issue travel more for work and started to have the issue again.
Now winter I didn't want to change them all.

I have an odbc2 i used figured out that nissan altima has its own sensor addres for the timing advance low and behold when the car was working "CS Adv" was stuck at 0 or doing normal advancing and retarding between-10 and +30. When the engine was acting up stalling in idle stalling right after crank stalling at a stop the "CS Adv" was stuck at greater than +35.

The MCU is dmb and smart at the same time.
Never was there an error for timing sensor but I un plugged my suspected sensor !!!little risky!!! With dual overhead cam 2 sensors 50/50 shot. 1 sensor unplug near firewall top of the engine. The engine ran with only hesitation on starting after no stalling ever and the CSAdv was acting normal.

Replaced the faulty sensor an no issues since.

Oil presure guage jumps from 30 to 60 whats the normal operating range

Oil pressure should be around 30 at idle and then sit at 60 when engine is above 2,000 RPM. If pressure varies at all engine speeds it indicates a sticking pressure relief valve which is located within the oil pump. You could try using some oil flushing product in the engine oil before the next oil change to see if it removes the gunk that is causing the valve to stick. If that does not improve it you should see a mechanic about replacing the relief valve.

Xterra repair

Since this is an intermittent problem, first try to determine if the problem arises due to one of these many intermittent problems:

* Vehicle vibration
* Heat sensitive
* Freezing
* Water intrusion
* Electrical load
* Cold or hot start up

If you can't isolate the cause of the intermittent problem, you can try adjusting the Idle Speed/Ignition Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio:

Idle Speed/Ignition Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio Adjustment

PREPARATION
1) Make sure that the following parts are in good order.

* Battery
* Ignition system
* Engine oil and coolant levels
* Fuses
* ECM harness connector
* Vacuum hoses
* Air intake system
* (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
* Fuel pressure
* Engine compression
* EGR valve operation (If so equipped)
* Throttle valve
* Evaporative emission system

2) On air conditioner equipped models, checks should be carried out while the air conditioner is OFF.
3) On automatic transmission equipped models, when checking idle rpm, ignition timing and mixture ratio,
checks should be carried out while shift lever is in “N” position.
4) When measuring “CO” percentage, insert probe more than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
