Toyota 4.5lt engine idle speed wants to drop rpm's

sounds like a prob with the air bypass valve, give the throttle body a clean along with the bypass valve, and clean the connector on the valve. costs nothing and is a good place to start.

i had similar scenario in 94 4.5 man 80 series
every few months this problem occurred
start car and car would want to stall ie come up to set of lights and as you slow down engine wanted to stall-had to keep engine revving til lights changed. this may go on for 5-10mins or bit longer sometimes and would be fine for next few months and same would happen again. not always when cold either from memory
nfi what problem was to this day

Hey rod woldn't co-inside with the air con cutting in would it? When I had my feroza it would do that as the idle up (vacume operated) was leaking pressure and would cause the car to stall when braking if the air con cut in.

Don't know about Tojo's but I had a similar prob with a V8 Disco. Apparently it was most likely the Air Flow Meter playing up. A proper mongrel of a job to accurately diagnose as the prob needs to occur when connected to the external computer.

As I said, may not be the case, but sounds familiar. If it is, see if you can source a reconditioned unit .... a new original will send you broke. ... Assuming Tojo parts are similarly priced, which would most likely be the case.

As an aside. I recently bumped the rear door on the Fender. Reversed into a tree that grew in the few seconds since I looked in the mirror. Rear door steel spare wheel bracket $78 ............. rear door "XTreme" plastic decal $110 ..... you work it out. ... buggered if I can.
