Stalling at idle - HELP!!
Update!!!
Okay so giant horrible news. A leakdown/compression test was performed. Discovered that it’s leaking in cylinder 3 causing misfires. Compression test failed in cylinder 2 and 3. Engine is apart now at Toyota. Not sure what the cause is but the issue is cylinder 3 is not sealing when it’s at the top of its motion and it’s leaking fluid is what I’m told. Car has 131k miles on it and along with some other maintenance related things (timing chain:tensioner:guides) the car needs a new block I’m told. Any chance I can get Toyota to fork up some of the bill? Am I SOL? Looking like $6500 in repairs on a motor that runs and seemingly runs fine after idle. Able to drive it for seemingly years as I’ve been trying to track down my issue for these few years. Any options? Suggestions? Thanks! (Below is my initial issue) __________________________________________________ _ The problem: Car runs extremely rich at idle. �� -30% LTFT But when under load it seems to even out the trims and run fine. Mods: Ptuning header (equal length) JDL frontpipe (cat+silencer) Ptuning catback Grams throttle body (new - hoping this would fix the issue) K&N Drop in air filter Running on e85 for 6 years now pretty much exclusively. Car sits at 600 rpm dips below it at idle then tries to rev up sometimes to like 2.5k rpm. Rinse repeat about 6 times. Sometimes it’ll just stall and sometimes it’ll stall after 2-3 times after it revs itself up and down. Sometimes when accelerating the car has a weird pop noise like plasticy sounding pop and the engine just doesn’t want to move. Often idle dips when pressing the gas pedal before it actually accelerates almost have to pre-rev it just to get the car moving from idle. I’ve cleaned my stock throttle body, didn’t work so I replaced it with the Grams throttle body, Ran fuel injector cleaner and replaced the fuel solenoid. Spark plugs were changed at 80k miles and the car now has 130k and I’ve changed them again. (UPDATED replaced PARTS LIST) New Sparks OEM New coil packs Delicious tuning New throttle body Gramms New Perrin air intake tube New air filter K&N New MAF OEM New MAP OEM New O2 sensor OEM Cut Snorkel �� New PCV valve New Oil catch can New Battery New Injectors OEM New OEM Evap solenoid New DW300C Fuel pump Unsure what to do from here. My tuner (Delicious tuning) is out of ideas and has given up helping. Would removing the header and factory tuning it and then taking it Toyota be my only solution? Any help is appreciated!

No check engine light? I wonder if your e85 use has degraded the fuel pump. This also sounds like what happened when my fuel pressure regular went bad at 60k miles.

Have you tried disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a spell .... which will allow the ECU relearn some stuff?

Also, not only are aftermarket sensors NOT reliable, which is reason enough to not use them, now you have to watch out for counterfeit "OEM" parts. |

check a few things on a scantool, or something that will display engine parameters.
Look at what the ECU is requesting for IAC steps (or however this car plays with idle speeds), and see where its actually idling at look at TPS both requested and actual look at cam timing on all 4 cams look at ignition timing, fuel pressure, anything else related to this. If anything looks off, or isn't what is being requested, start looking there. The worst thing you can do is to just start tossing parts at it. You may get lucky, or you might replace 6 good parts before you get it Be logical and reason your way thru it

Also replacing 6 good parts isn’t a problem since I’m at like 115k miles and some of these parts have to be replaced anyways. |

There are a couple of people here that know what normal looks like and will look at your logs if you post them, and even give you advice on what to replace. Did you ever get that O2 sensor replaced? |
