Anwser To The All To Known Knocking And Low Idle Questions

[CarpeNoxRacing]

Found This On Toyota.Com

Knock Sensor (Knock Control System)
By detecting high frequency vibrations that are early signs of pinging (pre-ignition) or knocking, a computerized engine control can retard the spark timing until the knock ceases. This allows an engine to take advantage of a high compression ratio (for more power) while reducing the risk of damage from hot weather, increased engine loads or lower grades of gasoline.

my car idles really weird in hot, hot weather. noticed this the other day. maybe this is why.

Mine too. Just when I start the car.

The computer only reads the knock sensor's output when medium to heavy loads...At idle it doesn't have anything to do with your ow idle.
Get your car checked..! At the Toyota shop..!
They'll adjust your idle circuit....

Aamir.......does ur car idle really low sometimes....cuz 50% time mine idles mad low (400-1000) when i'm at a stop light or something......sometimes it feels like it's gona stall or something:ugh: :(

plus i took it to the dealer ship to get that checked out and all they said was that i have "performace parts" and that to put the stock parts back on and they can check it:angry:

Mine idles at 600K. Its steady but the 2nd cam clacks like hell. ITS NORMAL. Its part of the high revving package. Its resting and waiting to be "cranked" into action. Do what my wife does. Turn up the stereo and the car sounds great. Sound? What Sound?

yeah mike, same thing. idles just barely above the first mark after 0.

haven't taken it to a dealer yet...try cleaning your MAF sensor with some electronics cleaner from radioshack. that smoothed mine out a little.

is that dealer on old country road? i go there too if it is. Westbury Toyota...bah. I need to go there to have them fix my belt tensioner but i'm afraid they'll give me **** cuz of my aem pulley...

[New_Name]

yeah, my car idles at about 600-800......i thought that was good....thought it was better than having high idle......isn't it
