Need help low idle - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #85369 5 posts Started by Kharma
Okay, so i've replaced the cap, rotor, distributor, plugs, and wires. The car will drive perfectly fine and as soon as i go to idle it drops to around 600ish sometimes lower. It only idles bad in gear and after sitting for about 30 seconds adjusts itself out and goes back up to 800. I just got a cel for a code 71 today. I think it may be the vaccuum modulator, but would this be the cause of the idle problems? I'm wondering because the modulator is somewhat expensive.

Thanks in advance guys.
even though you have another problem, how did you set your distributor?

I hate to sound like everyone else but try cleaning your idle air control valve or running some seafoam through your intake vacuum line.
^ that could be one of the next steps but i want to make sure that whatever was last replaced was done correctly before he moves on to the next step.

Everything was working fine well over two months since replacing everything.
