Idle Speed & Mixture: CAMRY
- Idle speed is controlled by Engine Control Module (ECM) and is not adjustable. Check idle speed with engine at normal operating temperature, transaxle in Neutral, parking brake applied, air cleaner and all air intake hoses installed, all vacuum hoses installed, electronic fuel injection system wiring connectors properly installed, ignition timing properly set, electric cooling fan off, and A/C and all accessories off.
- If Toyota hand-held tester is available, go to next step. If Toyota hand-held tester is not available, go to step 5.
- Start engine and warm engine to normal operating temperature. Shut engine off. Connect Toyota hand-held tester to data link connector No. 3 at driver's side of instrument panel. See Figure. Hand-held tester is used to read engine RPM. Apply parking brake. Place transaxle in Neutral. Start engine and allow engine to idle while noting idle speed. Ensure idle speed is within specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. Shut engine off. Remove hand-held tester.
- If idle speed is not within specification, check air intake system. If air intake system is okay, check throttle body. See IDLE CONTROL SYSTEMS
