Just Got A MK3

Damn... put a little more time into the sentences SD... not making a whole lot of sense there.

The black plug below the battery may be the connection for the small electric aux fan located beside the primary fan.

The white ones by the cruise control actuator appear to be for turbo functions... odd you'd have a GTE harness there though. One would go to the stock boost gauge sender and I cant recall where the other goes.... been a long day and my head's not entirely in the game.

The only other vehicle that I know of with a compatible ISCV is a 7M-GE equipped Cressida (looks kind of like a Camry).

BVSVs are very basic devices... as long as the threads are correct just about any BVSV off of a similar vintage Toyota should work just fine.

Weird.. the guy that I bought it from said that he did a rebuild on the engine but I still don't know why it would be there if it wasn't a turbo..

Anyways I plan on getting everything done tomorrow. Hopefully replacing the BVSV will do the trick. If not I will check all of the vacuum lines with Carb cleaner or whatever you use to check.

The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is that the car ONLY does it every once in a while. When I bought the car we drove it for 2-3 hours home and it drove just fine, I drove it all day the next day and it worked fine. Than the night after it drove with the revving, the next day it was gone. It revved up ALL day yesterday and I started it today and it ran just fine..

I don't see how if there is a problem that it just happens sometimes. You would figure it would effect it everytime.

I don't think that the ISCV is broke, I heard it click 4 times when I shut my engine off so I'm not going to replace it now unless I need to. I think that the FSSS sound was it resetting, but I'm not sure.. if that FSSS is from a vacuum leak than it should be easy to find.. I'll just need a partner to help listen for me while I shut it off or vice versa.

Update:

So today I checked more into the ISCV to make sure that it was working properly. Unplugging it and starting the engine made it idle at 2 rpm and when plugged back in it ran at 1 rpm so I know that it is working correctly.

We sprayed down the hoses and didn't notice any leaks, the idle never changed when spraying over them.. so now I am lost have no clue what could be going wrong.

The car ran fine today as well.

When the car is off does the vane in the AFM close all the way?

Does the throttle plate close all the way?

Have you checked the intake piping for cracks or holes?

Have you checked the timing?

Any error codes?

Sorry if you've already been asked and answered some of these... I just can't keep track of everyone's problems right now, so please just bear with me and repeat your answers.

BTW, it's 1,000 RPM, not 1 or 2.
