strange idling when at a stop sign

Acidpain · 01-22-2004, 09:02 PM

Several times when comming to a stop and after stoping the idle seems to go real low like it wants to stall out, but i give it gas and it seems to be back to normal. its a 2004 manual 2.4L truck. It only did it a several times and was wondering if any of yall ever had that problem and if so, what causes it? or is it a normal behaivor of this type of truck? Thanks

mine does that every once in a while... usually when the weather makes a drastic change... like today: it was cold and dry this mornin, but when i fired up the truck to go home after work, it was warm and humid. had a low, rough idle when i put the truck into neutral at stops. The ECU just needs to adjust to changes in the weather.

next time it does that, don't give it gas, and see if it stalls and kills the motor or if it brings it's self up, with u doing nothing, i'd say if it stalls, take it back to toyota, if it recovers it's self with u doing nothing, it's fine.

mine does the same thing, it'll go from like 750/1000 RPM(whatevers normal) down to like 500 and the lights will dim a lil' and then b4 I know it, it jumps back up, and then the light changes, lol. I think it's normal man, but I'll say it til Wyotech get's back to me, I ain't a mechanic(yet).

oh yeah, btw Kgrgunman, anything's faster than a speeding Kia, lol
