Hello, i've got the Idle air control valve installed today and i got my car back, and the problem is still there! i'm getting really frustrated with this car, if anyone else can help would be really appreciate it, or should i take it to toyota dealer for a complete diagnostic for $110.00/hr

thanks for that info, really helped me a lot making my decision, so i went on and bought the duralast iacv from autozone for 124.99 and my mechanic said he'll install it for 60.00, the part comes within a few days 2-day free shipping w/ shoprunner 30day trial which im going to cancel immediately lol. i'll post update when it's installed and HOPEFULLY this will solve this very annoying problem. I can't thank everyone enough for their tips/help, this is a really good forum site with quick and helpful responses.

I tried that and the car starts fine... i don't think that's the problem now, but thanks for your tip/help though, appreciate it a lot.

the idle air control valve at autozone is pretty cheap compared to others, duralast for $124.99 or should i get STANDARD for which ranges from $200-300. do you get what you paid for? or it doesn't matter the brand?

actually, i have to drive it for a bit to warm up, but once its been driven for a bit, then the shutting down on idle occurs, it actually happens when im on reverse too when trying to parallel park lol. i've taken it to the mechanic today i told him what i thought it could be (idle air control valve needs cleaning) but when i got back to him, he said he fixed it, he said adjusted the timing belt and a wire that was bad which wasnt giving enough power (idk), but when i got home after driving for a bit, i sat there with my foot on the brake and the car on drive, and eventually the problem occurred again =(. I contacted the mechanic and he said he'll check it again, maybe he'll listen to me this time and clean it. UGH! thanks again for everyones help i really appreciate it!

How much does it cost to get the iac cleaned? or how much is the part plus installation?

Hello, thank you everyone for your help/responses, my car is an automatic 1.8, i have floored it when entering the highway, the car doesn't studder at high rpm nor stall, the car drives fine and smooth just the stalling problem. I'm going to take it to another mechanic today, i'll post update on what he says. again thanks for your help, this site is awesome!

Hello, I've recently bought a 1994 Celica ST, The car sometimes shuts down when i come to a complete stop, the rpm would fluctuate between 800-500 shake and studder then shuts off, mostly at red lights and when the car is on drive. However, if i leave it on neutral at red lights it doesn't shut off. I've went to 2 mechanics and they fixed the tps sensor which help for a few days, but then the problem occurs again. I've went to a 3rd mechanic recently and now he's saying it's the transmission and he needs to take it out to figure out the problem charging me 695.00, which i think might be b.s. so i didn't go through with it. Spark plugs & wires are already replaced with NGK, transmission fluid was replaced with toyota transmission fluid, oil change/oil filter replaced as well, ANY HELP OR SUGGESSTIONS please thank you.
