Mine happens to idle where ever it wants, whenever it wants... sometimes it will idle all day at a perfect 800 rpm, others its at 500, and some days its even at 1200.. stupid idle control valve >_<

Mines at 1000. but i think it says to idel at 900

700-800 is good on all celicas from that generation (and most cars in general)

I don't get why guys increase their idle... its just makes them waste more gas... having a higher idle might help with a better launch but i don't think wasting twice as much fuel is worth it..

Check your vacuum lines. Listen for a sucking sound

Mines between 7 and 9 (hundred)

well I noticed a sucking sound in that black valve and the back right of the EFI.......the top connector has nothing going to it.....its making a sucking sound......but in all the diagrams I have found theres nothing that attaches to it!!!!! so what am I missing?

put your finger over it and see what happens. Sometimes the cover will dry rot and fall off. Its like a little black rubber cap

Celica4mea · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 08, 2003, 11:17:59 pm »

yeah......well when I was first trying to get my car going before it ran right every time I covered it you could just hear the revs go down!

I think the parts stores sell the plugs, but some people do it the cheap way and cut some hose and plug the end with a screw
