Hey all, I've got a problem I hope you could help me out with.
Frequently, when I start up my car, my engine will not hold idle. Instead, the engine just stalls out. I have to manually hold down the throttle to keep the revs high enough to keep the engine running. I will do this for a minute or so, then the engine will hold the idle without my help. Usually, this phenomenon happens in the mornings. Seems like cold starts give this car problems. Also, I sometimes get blue smoke from the tailpipe on starts. Mine is a '96 Celica GT with a manual tranny. Thanks, Ed |

I installed NGK Iridiums and wires about a year ago. Can't be gone that quickly? Oh well. I'll look around.
What in god's name is an idle air control valve? |
