Weird power surge and high idle problem. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #96006 1 posts Started by Davesceli
Any ideas about what might cause a car to idle high (2000 rpm) but also die when the gas pedal is pressed. I noticed a bit of power surging this morning but it went away quick. On the way home it happened again but this time with the high idle and weird throttle response. Ended up having it towed home.

I have the 5sfe. I had a check engine light for egr that come and go for a little while, now its gone completely. It felt like a fuel delivery problem aside from the high idle. Im planning on replacing my plug wires and fuel filter along with testing my fuel pump. Any other things i should look into?

Thanks


*UPDATE* a few hours later, the car is running perfect again. Not sure what the heck is going on.
