My 2001 would start but not idle correctly and die after about 10 -15 seconds regardless of engine temp. I had to start it with the pedal to the floor and keep the idle at about 2K to keep it running. I cleaned the IACV as shown in the video and now it works fine. Thanks for the tip!
my thottle body did look super clean too, but the cylinder of the idle valve was gunk with carbon, not that much but with the little clearance it has, it was enough to jam the cylinder to move around his axis, had to take everything apart, it's better now.
Yep. - did that on my 99 camry - It had been dying on idle. Cleaned it out after 200K km with kerosene after taking it off. Replaced it an it ran perfectly.
To reset idle control turn key to on, push brake while also pushing accelerator to floor hold for 5 secs. Then let up on both pedals and wait 10 secs then start engine should return to normal idle.
Hi my 2003 Camry was ideal poorly and over heat how to fix it and yes I use to cold start the engine and take off I need to heat the engine is that right
Hey Jeff, my 2000 solara starts and I have to press the gas for it to stay at around 700-1000rpm, once it’s warmed up, it kind of runs ok. Accelerates very slow, and doesn’t take off when you hit the gas all the way to the floor, any ideas??
hi sir nice to see u video....i have camry 2007 2.4 ......i have same cold start problem.......I already cleaned injectors ...throtal body ....new spark plug and also changed new fuel filter .......but still when its cold it will take minimum 3 to 4 self then start .......after start going well no idle problem no jurking .......when its hot then start easily but when its cold then take time to start ...do u have any idea to solve this isuue ....i will be very tnakful to u .
In my opinion, it is not the throttle body itself that causes the cold start problem, its the part connected to the two wholes in the throttle body on either side of the butterfly valve. Those holes lead to the Idle-Air Control Valve (IACV). It acts like a choke, and is computer operated. But, the IACV gets gummed-up with carbon and then does not work properly. That is why I was squirting solvent down in those holes. But, it may take a few treatments if it is plugged, or has an excessive build-up. You might even have to remove the IACV and examine it. Good Luck!
My 2002 Sienna my dad gave me had the issue of starting up cold and dying. Once I get moving it’s fine. But it’s annoying in the beginning. I don’t want the starter to go out. Could it be my MAF sensor? I went to get the diagnostic done and there were NO error codes. So according to the OBD2 tester I have a top notch vehicle.
L am facing the exact problem. See,. When the car is cold in the morning, it cranks well then runs for like ten seconds, then goes off. I therefore have to crank it, then keep pressing in the gas peddle for it to warm after which the car moves very well. What could be the issue. Once it's warmed up, it, works perfectly well and starts smoothly, there is no check engine sign as well. Any help, guys?
if a 3rd hose is at the bottom of the IAC valve.... the cleaner and carbon will go into the enfgine crankcase.... Filling the IAC with cleaner without removing it MAY be a bad idea
Well.... I guess if you are worried about that, you could completely remove it, clean it off the car and let it dry before reinstalling. But, my opinion is the potential engine contamination it is insignificant.
@@JeffsAuto carbon deposits and cleaner going into the crankcase 'in your opinion' is not significant? Supposition and opinion do not matter.... the facts are what matters...
Watched with it being a Toyota. Own a 1970s Toyota & live in the UK. All it takes is a few degrees cooler & starting problems set in. Until a few years ago the car was a South African market car where it's not by & large cool. Could a different climate from country to country be a factor?

Check distributor/coil/plugs/ wires Timing Marks/Chain Compression check Leak down test Water could off entered into the cylinder head/intake manifold cause the valves to bend (Hydrolock) Worst case scenario, bent con rod.
u saud it runs as long as u spray gas on air cleaner right... the that means the problem is fuel supply... if tank is ok, fuel filter is ok, try checking the pipe for clogs, and more importantly, check your injectors along with camshaft sensor and all connections in it.. that might work
@@elgatogordo9523 ur recommendation reiterates what ChrisFix did for honda his nieghbor gave to him for free and wouldn't start--his process of figuring out why a car wouldn't start resulted in an incorrectly timing belt replacement--the timing marks were off
So just a suggestion... I know you said you replaced the fuel pressure regulator... I’ve had similar issues in the past with my 00 Grand Am... and after losing my mind, I found myself back to step one... so on a hunch I removed the RECENTLY PURCHASED, brand new (and Advanced Auto Certified) Fuel Pressure Reg, and went back to the store... after arguing with the staff, swapped it for another one and VOILA... I discovered THAT NOT EVERY “NEW” part you purchase is fully functional... and believe it or not a few years later I ran into THE SAME problem in that car with a starter... (and that was thanks to OReilly Auto)... AND I even bench tested the starter and it passed. But some parts can pass a bench teSt but still fail under real world conditions (ex. Mounted onto a vehicle)
Great video just bought a Toyota solara started to back it up halfway in the street stalled wouldn't start watched your video got me home thank you

I have the same issue except just when the engine is cold so I’m gonna try this
Do idle relearn procedure
I did that and my car still broke
@@rogerthat6221how
This is the darkest video in the entire city.
You should always use throttle body cleaner instead of Carburetor cleaner
I highly recommend taking off the throttle body and cleaning it, and the iac. But that throttle body looked super clean before the cleaning.
my thottle body did look super clean too, but the cylinder of the idle valve was gunk with carbon, not that much but with the little clearance it has, it was enough to jam the cylinder to move around his axis, had to take everything apart, it's better now.
In newer models if you take off the TB you would end up recalibrating it, which can be tricky.
@@Naturalhit do a idle relearn
Good video i going to do that Saturday because i don't have time
didnt work for me but engine start when I pull a vsv hose out of the intake manifold. is my IACV shot?
dude ur awesome!!!

Nice!

Does that work on a 97?
Thank you
It made my car work again
Buddy you need some light there
How can you work in such low light???
That's what I thought!!!
Camera probably isn't picking up all the light that is actually present.
Thanks, this was helpful to me
Have this same exact same engine and does not start on cold start after sitting for some time ,does these cars carry any cold start injectors ?
Does idling and cold start have an engine diag code? I fixed my P0441 code but my camry 98 still idles and starts cold
shab90 exact same problem.😕 anything that helps with that?
Thanks :)
Good tip, a cheap fix so might as well check this first. Mine runs fine once it's warmed up, but it warms up like a ghost is on the gas pedel
My problem turned out to be the coolant temp sensor (green plug on the brass coolant sensors and switches assembly)
Hi my 2003 Camry was ideal poorly and over heat how to fix it and yes I use to cold start the engine and take off I need to heat the engine is that right

Do a idle relearn procedure. Did you just change the battery?
how?

Use mass air flow sensor clearer.
Better than brake clean and made for the component.
That was a lot of throttle body cleaner
almost like there was a fire.
if a 3rd hose is at the bottom of the IAC valve.... the cleaner and carbon will go into the enfgine crankcase.... Filling the IAC with cleaner without removing it MAY be a bad idea

Got a 01 camery that died while on highway and headlights also want come on everything else works fine
I have not seen that problem before. Not sure where to start on that one.
it could be a dead fuel pump/fuel delivery system/fuel pump fuse/relay, alternator?

check fuel pump fuses and or relay. it definitely sounds like a fuel problem. maybe a fuel filter, maybe injectors.
Check distributor/coil/plugs/ wires
Timing Marks/Chain
Compression check
Leak down test
Water could off entered into the cylinder head/intake manifold cause the valves to bend (Hydrolock)
Worst case scenario, bent con rod.

Check your Idle control Va LUE
I'm just gonna open it up, and spray onto a dirty hose to move that debris/dirt into the engine. Fantastic....
I bet you use your mother's vacuum cleaner.
i got a new one from china less than 40.dollars works great
