I am by no means mechanically inclined at all however I would like to try and diagnosis this with some of
your guys` help instead of having to take it into my Toyota dealer. Here's my situation: When the car first fires up, it idles nicely at 1000 rpm, smooth rpms all over, drops nicely back down to 1000 rpm with ease. Now the cars engine is warmed up, and now the trouble hits. Car still revs up fine but starts to dive down to the 800 mark and getting rough, in some cases when I am hitting the brakes abruptly or I press the clutch in for a neutral coast, the car will actually stall out and drop from whatever RPM I am going, (typically 3000) straight down to zero with no hesitation. I am at a loss as to where to start, ideas my friends? Need some helpful insight from some experienced members with the 3SGTE world. -Kellen. -------------------- current project: looking :(

QUOTE (playr158 @ Feb 3, 2011 - 5:45 PM)  Yay I was right. Glad you found it! Yes found the vac leaks! Three nice new hoses for $4, nice cheap fix for that  ...Unfortunately, problem is still there.. Talked with one of the guys from work, he is thinkin one of two things: 1) Timing Belt is on its last legs (which is true, it is at its 96,000 km service) 2) Fuel Filter. The car is just losing RPM when at a standstill as well once warmed up. Dropping from 1000 to 800 and sometimes down to about 400. Still occasionally stalling when revved up then RPMs drop back down. Ugh. Must not be tempted to take to Toyota, new years resolution is to be more of a wrench head and do this by myself!
