High Idle Revs?

[reena187]

hi, everytime i start my car it revs very high (1900 rpm) and comes down to 1000 after a good 8-10 min.

also if the car has been driven (and is warm) 3 hours later it will rev this high again.

there is something wrong with my car because it was never this bad before.

has anybody had a similar experience or know how to remedy this?

thanks

Doesn't sound unusual to me... Just the choke kicking in in the colder weather...?

You might need to replace the Thermostat Reena - do a quick search on thermostats in the Celica section on this forum (plenty of threads on it) - I've had to buy one recently for my 6th gen (£10 on Ebay) - the thermostat was buggered and the engine idled at around 1800-1900 - it took ages to heat up if at all - but just have a quick read up on it first to see if you've got the same syptoms.

my vvti idles at 1500 when i first start it up, i think they all do just because its a gt, vvti so on and so forth

if its still happening have you tried squirting some wd40/carb cleaner on the air intake on the carb/throttle body?when mine played up it was because the flappy bit was stuck open a little by built up gunge just whip off the bit from the air filter and give her a good squirt might help the problem

thanks for your help.... hopefully it will sort it out!! xx

if it was the thermostat surely u wouldnt get heat via ur vents then? mine does it too and it goes to normal idle ..like said after car warms up in 10 mins or so..
