Uneven idle after cleaning engine

hyatt200 · 12-08-2006, 09:43 PM

so far ive also replaced a hose going to the ICS valve that had a small crack. removed the ICS and took it apart and cleaned it. (no water there) now i'm looking for a new accordian tube going to the throttle body from the mass airflow sensor because it has a crack in it. it must be a sealed unit.

anyway... not fixed yet. anyone have any other ideas on what to check?

well. i made a liar out of myself. i decided to go and change valve cover gaskets. while in there , i found more water (and oil). i changed the valley gasket and valve cover gaskets , after getting "all' the water this time.

it's so clean in there now you could eat lunch off it.

unfortunately i'm still waiting on my accordian hose that the dealer totally screwed up for me. so i cant start it yet. maybe in a couple days.

i'm finding out , supra parts arent easy to find.

well. after all the water was removed it still idled like $#1* . i bought a used intake off ebay which had a idle control speed valve on it. changed it out and i'm back to normal with a very very cleaned "new" looking motor.

there was never water in this sensor when i took it apart. the sensor was sticking in one position. why this happened when washed , i dont know.

thanks for the help and hope my experience helps someone out later in life.
