Inspection procedure 7
Unstable idling (rough idle, hunting)
Probable cause
This malfunction is probably caused by a faulty ignition system, improper air/fuel ratio,
a faulty electronic-controlled throttle valve system, improper compression pressure,
etc. As many causes can be suspected, diagnose from easier items.DMalfunction of the ignition system
DMalfunction of the air/fuel ratio control system
DMalfunction of the electronic-control throttle valve

When the engine is hot, it stalls at idling. (Die out)

The cause is probably an improper air/fuel ratio, faulty electronic-controlled throttle
valve system, compression pressure. In addition, if theenginestalls suddenly, another
possible causemight be a poorconnector contact.DMalfunction of the ignition system

Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*
1: Within four minutes after starting the engine
*2: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10%
longer than the standard time.
*
3: The accelerator pedal position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the accelerator pedal
position sensor (1st channel) is 200 - 600 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the
accelerator pedal position switch turns back on after the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage
has risen by 100 mV and the throttle valve has opened, the accelerator pedal position switch and
the accelerator pedal position sensor (1st channel) need to be adjusted.

Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*1: Injector running time indicates the time where the power voltage is 11 V and the cranking speed
is 250 r/min or less. As the engine speed increases and the time passes by, the injector running
time decreases.
*2: There may be occasions of taking the injector running time approximately 10% longer than usual
when a vehicle has not been driven for a long time (mileage is no more than 500 km.)
*3: It is normal that the idle switch turns from ON to OFF when accelerator pedal position sensor (1st
channel) voltage increases by 200 - 600 mV from the idling position. Moreover, adjust the idle switch
and accelerator pedal position sesor if the idle switch keeps turning after the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
