1998 Camry LE 2.2 5S-FE High Idle Quick Fix
Вставка

- This is a quick $10 fix for those who are experiencing high idle problems with the 5S-FE 2.2 4 cyl in many Toyota products. Directions follow in this description.
Check your engine coolant temperature sensor before checking any other parts! It's an easy check, is inexpensive to replace, and takes a single 19 MM wrench and a few minutes.
Directions:
Warm up the car to operating temperature, shut it off, locate your coolant temperature sensor (green plug on the harness) and unplug the sensor. Re-start the engine, and it should idle normally, around 850 RPM. If this happens, don't touch anything else! Replace your sensor, and you're back to normal.
When you replace the sensor, use a 19 MM wrench. Have the new sensor within arm's reach. Break torque on the senor, and back it off until it can be loosened by hand. Unscrew the sensor by hand the rest of the way. When it comes loose, put a finger over the hole in the manifold to prevent coolant loss. Set aside the old sensor, pick up the new one, and thread the new sensor in, being careful to minimize coolant loss. Tighten enough to ensure a good seal and prevent loosening in the future - do not overtighten! Plug the harness back in, and start the car. Your idle should return to its normal range, approximately 850 RPM.
that was my issue! Thank you sir for this extremely helpful and informative video! 2 years attempting to fix my Camry, now solved!!!!!
Thank you for this great solution. I had cleaned my throttle body and the ignition air control valve and still the car quit at stop lights. I was ready to take it to a mechanic and pay through the nose. Part was $17.50 but instantly fixed the problem. Cost was $25.00 including the wrench! Who knows how much I would have been hosed if I hadn't came across your video.
Hello. Were you getting a check engine light during this poor idling? If so, what code?
Did it idle very low before it stalled? Mine was goin extremely low like it would stall. But it never did. Now tho, it stall off as soon as it turns on unless foots on gas
What was the problem ? @@jenniferevan678
Great tip Thank you..Just unplugged and ran well again..I'm off to the parts store..Thanks again
Excellent video...exactly what i was looking for👍👍👍👍
I work on all my cars, I have a 90 corvette zr1 and a 96 corolla, I’ve been to hell and back trying to fix this problem, you showed me how to fix it in 5 minutes lol thabkyou
Your solution works I went through other videos didn't work but yours answered the problem I found your Solution was correct saved me lots of dollars
Is your car fix? What happened to your car before?
Thank you this worked for me 99 Camry LE 2.2 thought I'd mention on install usually sensor doesn't come with gasket can thread tape it, and when installing do not tighten with tool there's a threshold you will break sensor if you try to wrench tighten can get seated with just your hand,
Hopefully this continues to hold up so far a godsend also order online parts are 2 to 3 times as much at store
Nice job. Great to know I'm going to try it.
watching this 2022. this really helped and saved me a lot of time and money
I’m going to attempt this on my 1999 RAV4 thank you!
IAC . Going to junk yard then. Coolant temp didn't change unplugged for me. Great video.
These engines are like tanks, they'll run forever.
Can confirm. I got 407k miles on mine, in a 94 camry.
Yes! I have this issue in my 89 Camry.. I bought it this way but noticed the former user unplugged the idle air control valve...and I get high rpm anytime I plug it back. Am going to replace my water blah blah blah sensor ...lol
Thanks, your tip was the fix!
Thank you for this great solution at may my save a lot of time and money….thank you again 👌👌👍
Very valuable information Thanks.
Thank you! For tris video .. you have a great day!
Thanks for this useful info!
This video might have just saved my ass. I've been trying to hunt down the cause of my high/bouncing idle on my '88 MR2. I've replaced vacuum lines, cleaned the throttle body and IACV, adjusted the TPS, bled the coolant several times, installed some new gaskets, and more with no luck. I heard about the coolant sensor being a potential issue, but ignored it at first becasue I had no idea where to locate it on my car. Went to inspect it just now and the conductor end has completely disintegrated. Unplugging the sensor brought my idle down to 900 from 1200 before (but with a CEL of course). Anyway, I am excited that it may just be a $12 sensor for me to finally get this annoying issue resolved. Thank you so much for this really quick and concise video. Wish I had seen this earlier... as it seems idle issues like this exist on basically all Toyota models from the 80s-00s.
5 years and 125k views later, and this video is still saving people time and money! I wish all of my videos were like this! Glad I could help, good luck with the MR2!
@@colhunt76 Thanks! While the coolant temp sensor did help regulate the idle slightly and was definitely in need of being replaced, i finally tracked my issue down to leaky fuel injector seals. I was already pretty fed up with the car at that point and didn't want to tear down a bunch of the engine again just to replace those seals, so I actually sold the car a while ago.
I've changed the coolant temp sensor and the iac (Both were bad and fixed my idle) but my check engine light won't go away with P0505 code and my idle is at 600 but i believe that is within normal range.
genial amigo, esa fue la solucion a mi problema¡ mil gracias
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you sir, great video
Your is hero man you solve my problem love you sir thanks for video
Smart idea 👍. Thanks
my manual camry would turn off while driving if I was either switching between gears or stopped at a light. happened once going 40 in a city streets, very spooky lol
changed the coolant temp sensor and it fixed the wonky idle, and no more stalls while driving (last 20k miles)
Very good advice. I have a 2001 model and it's literally the best running car I've ever owned
The hose on the IAC valve seems as it has a small hole in it on this video. Maybe I'm wrong and it was dirt? It's near the end where it would hook onto the IAC if you watch the video where he shows down below.
Coolant sensor is known as the "master sensor" because when it goes bad it causes starting issues, stalling, idle issues....
When I unplugged my connector car wouldn’t start what does that mean? My engine coolant sensor needs to be replaced?
Just fixed my issue with this. Thanks!
Is your car fix ,when you change the engine coolant temp?
Im going to try it tomorrow aee what happens i clean throttle body still high rpm
WOW! 👏👏 That was totally it, thank you, sir. I love UA-cam.
97 avalon xls 1mz-fe engine what's your thoughts when car is in park or stopped at a red light it will rev to 2000 rpms and stay there for a random period of time any where from 5min to 10-15min then it will normalize and quick presses on the gas pedal won't change it or help bring it down to normal rpms it just comes down on it's own and it doesn't happen like a pattern just random I cleaned the entire throttle body and air intake system and replaced the IAC valve complete tune up including all new coil packs any thoughts?
Great information
Hey AJ, what if im getting a p0115 code, but the car is showing no symptoms? Should i start with replacing the sensor? Also if i change the sensor, do i have to drain the coolant? Same car 98 camry 2.2
My blowed the top radiator hose and I was wondering if could be it?
I replaced the sensor and it still high idles but if I take off the connector while it is running and it idled back down to 750 rpm like normal the moment i plug it back in straight up to 2100 rpm (i checked the new sensor resistance spec and it matches and is working as expected)
Does that explain why on pull starts and out of their high for a long time
Unplugged mine and it immediately stalls, so I opened up the back up iacv since I closed it to see if that lowered the high idle, it did a couple hundred but still at about 1800rpm. Still wouldn't start
Thanks for sharing!
My is idling low. At 100rpm at idle . What can it be.??
What’s the sensor next to it called the grey one?
Hello can you tell me the name ò the part .Thank
when i unplugged the coolant temp sensor the car cranked then started for a sec then died. I plug it back in and its cranks good, its just a low idle and rpms jump when in drive or reverse
what about if its a really now idle, do i do the same thing?
I disconnected mine while car running now it’s giving me a code for it. Will it clear itself
I had thesame issue, thanks for the video, it was helpful.
I did remove the tempt sensor socket ....still high...but when i remove the iacv socket...the idle back to normal....clean eveything already...
Would low rpm hesitation be symptom of a bad sensor ???
Can I clean the idle control valve with WD40?
For both water temperature sending units, I remember having a hard time getting the thermostat to read accurately, so I replaced both water temp senders, and even the water neck they go into, and the temp reader on the bottom of the radiator. Even after all of that, the reader kept reading high near overheat. Then, after changing the car battery, I realized the cooling fans turned on in intervals again, without the AC, and being unplugged.
Also, if a sales rep selling the temp sending reader says you can put these temp sensors straight on the water neck without a washer, ignore it, and get the washer anyway. The sensor will melt on the water neck if applied directly...
Mines was sticky at 358,592 miles when I got the car from a friend cleaned the throttle body and used wd40 for the throttle cable problem solved didn't had to replace the iac
What if it's revving up and down?
Would this help a 2002 camry XLE 4 cylinder?
At about $20 ... just get one and install it and if the problem is gone, you spent $20 and solved a problem! A PCV valve on a 2000 Corolla is also easy to replace or clean and can save you BIG costs.... clean it every year at least with throttle cleaner... takes maybe 30 minutes max!
thank you so much my car has bad flex pipe so its really loud i don't want it screaming at 6 in the morning
Good to know , thanks 🙏
Mine bogs until it reaches 2000 rpm, accelerates normally after that. Idles fine and no codes or cel.
Good job
Thank you my love you ❤️
Noted. Great info.
But what if I have a low idle, or rough idle on cold start? I replaced everything I can possibly replace but yet I get a low or rough idle at cold start, especially in the winter. BTW mine is a 94 camry with the 5S-FE.
?Did you check coil packs
@@gregoriocastillo458 new coil pack. Wasn't the problem.
my is doing the same thing as yours did you ever find out what was wrong with it please help and thank you in advanced
To continue, In my 1998 Camry LE, I have fast idling (1500-2000 ) at first then after a short run 10 to 15 Km. the idle goes back to normal 900. of course my gas mileage is gone to pots. ,Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Try pulling the electrical harness off of the coolant temp sensor while your idle is high. If it returns to the 850 - 900 range, the coolant temp sensor is your problem. I put a detailed description of how to swap the sensor in the video's description.
Thank you. Appreciate your sharing 👍🏼
Thank you..
I tried this with my 2001 camry and it would not start, just turned over...
Mine run at a low (normal?) idle speed but it's not stable. It goes up and down a little but never stall. Could this be caused by this sensor too ? I can't try it before a few days.
Did you find your problem? I have a low/rough idle and a TOYOTA 5S-FE engine that looks to be running rich.
@@wellnesspathforme6236 clean your throttle body
I did that but some fluid started to run off so I stopped and closed it back. You did not mention that or what to do?.
Detailed instructions are in the description. A little fluid loss is to be expected. Back the sensor all the way out, put your finger in the hole to prevent further loss, have your new sensor handy, and quickly thread it in.
I own a 90 celica Gt and im having this problem, ill see if I can get a part from the scrap yard and take care of my slightly high idle,
Edit: 6 months later
Still like this bit it's only at 1k to 9sumthin and every now and then it evens out at 750 but that's rarely, im living with it, i did replace the sensor and I soldered a new connector on, and my oil pressure sensor was leaking and I put a boot on that from another car,
Mine only idles high when the car is cold started. Is it just oil needs to be circulated?
Normal all the older camry do it till they warm up 20 seconds or so
What about a week idol After start up? My 2000 Camry ( With 453 K miles) Feels as if the engine is galloping For about 20 seconds yes if the engine is is warm warm but Quickly smooths out after turning on turning on the air conditioner or eat or even revenge revenge the engine the engine for about 2 seconds. I've owned the car since 10/99 And she's been doing it for the past 15 years but mechanics mechanics can't seem to catch why. She never feels as if she's going to stall but It's something that has always annoyed me.. Never happens after a cold start up start up And Only does it After I come out of a store Or something When the engine is still warm. Once you get her out of the galloping thing sing again by either turning on the AC or or riving the riving the engine for a second or 2 she she runs and drives like She did when she was new.
Have u found the issue
Same problem on my toyota corolla altis 2005 model ,,high rpm on cold start about 2200 rpm ,,,is this coolant temp sensor will fix my high idle?
When you say unplug do you mean simply unplug the electrical or unplug and remove the sensor as well?
Just unplug the green electrical connector from the sensor to test it, not the sensor itself. The connector will come loose by pushing the tab on the side and pulling away from the sensor body.
Toyota buen video
I unplugged mine during high idle and the idle went within normal range
Ok I did it but now it won't start without it plugged in if it does start it stalls
Mine wouldn't start either. Did you replace the sensor anyways and if so did that fix the high idle?
This is exactly what was wrong on my 98 Corolla. The location for this one is on the left side of the engine under the coil packs.
Is this fix your car?
@@jannerbugarin3009 I thought so at first but the actual promlems was indeed gunk build up in the throttle body. I changed to temperature sensor and it the engine rev was higher.
What name of the senor beside this sensor
That's the Engine Coolant Temperature Sender". It's the responsible for sending the temperature to the instrument cluster. The ECT (this video) it's the responsible for sending the Coolant Temp to the Car Computer.

97 Camry high idle when I drive it for 30 minutes if i put in reverse to park it dies then it wont start I have to wait when it cools down it want to start though so mechanic was busy shop so he said clean the throttle body and idle air control I did it did the same thing idle actually got higher then I did what you did 25 dollar I fixed it if I let the.mechanic fix it it would of cost 500 dollar until if they got it right thnk you I saved 500 dollar thanks again usually other youtubers leads you astray not you
