Changed spark plugs and cleaned out throttle body, now idling at 1k

[GotToyota?]

I changed out my spark plugs last night and gave my throttle body a good cleaning as well since I had to take it out anyways. I sprayed the throttle body down with carb cleaner, and scrubbed down the dirt and grime with a wire brush. All is well, put everything back in. I just now drove it not too long ago, and now I'm idling at 1k, before it was about 600-750ish normally. Also, it takes more pressure on the throttle pedal to geta reaction. Maybe I need to just lube up the assembly on the throttle body?

You probably just need to adjust the Throttle linkage a bit. That or the TPS just needs some turning.

Did you seperate the TPS from the throttle body, or did you just disconnect the connector to it?

And it sounds like you probably messed up the throttle plate resting angle when you cleaned it...just adjust the idle screw until you get it to idle @ TSRM spec. which is 700RPM.

Also check for possible vacuum leaks.

I did take off the TPS, then put it back on after cleaning. I'll mess around with the throttle plate.

Well, if you took of the TPS, then that's your problem...it needs to be re-adjusted, which requires a multi-meter. Check the TSRM for the procedure.

Did you get my TPS yet Matt?

Not yet.

Jonathan: What is a multi-meter?

like a voltmeter/ammeter/ohmmeter. standard radioshack fare.

stupid thing, but is the A/C on? when mine's on itll be idling around 1200rpm, when off itll rest around 700

Gotcha, I have one of those. And this is with the A/C off.

Received the TPS from Kyle, adjusted it, and now all is well. Thanks!

Damn it, can't figure this out. Take the car out to make sure it's ok, and it goes back to idling at 1500 RPM. I try to adjust the TPS, barely does anything. I even tried adjusting the idle screw on the AFM, still nothing. This is really frustrating me.

weird. what about disconnecting the battery for a while to let everything reset itself, or would this do anything?

I unplugged the EFI fuse for abit, and nothing changed. Maybe since the TPS is electric it needs to reset itself?

could be, i haven't had to screw with the TPS yet. if you dont have access to the TSRM, just lemme know. ive got a full set sitting here beside me begging to be used.

I checked the TSRM, but maybe I'm retarded, and can't find the TPS faq?

youve tested it like the page fi-100 (engine manual) says? i'm not sure what it could be if you've set it like this states.
