Topic: Help Help with gas pedal and question about idle

[nick1990]

I have a 1995 3vze 4runner with 202xxx miles on it and anyways im wondering what should the rpm be???....when i first got it the rpm would be at around 1500 (cold start) little more and some times alittle less and warmed up idle would be below 1000, from what i remember around 800...not sure if the rpms where rite so i adjusted my idle and know idles at the same at cold start and warmed up rite at 1000rpm...sometimes alittle more...does that sound rite???

and then my gas pedal...when i first got it it was soooo STIFF feeling, so i did the ISR mod helped alot, alittle bit of wd40 on the the throttle return spring, that helped, cleaned the the throttle while it was still attached so i didn't get it completely cleaned...thought i fixed it...no stiffness what in parked at ALL, just when im driving it at press it around 1\4 probably a little less than that and the stiffness is there...and then after the stiffness is gone, its just around that area....REALLY hard to explain my problem

Thanks if you read this

gunked up throttle body at the throttle plate........

[nick1990 [OP]]

cleaned it already,  well as much as i could without thaking it off...and cleaned behind the plate as well...thinking about taking it off though and cleaning it real well....wondering thought if i take it off will i need to get a new gasket or just reuse the one i have???

I managed to reuse the gasket on my 22RE.

When it came off, it only stuck to one side.

I added hylomar when reinstalling.

I think a new gasket is around $3 at kragen/autozone.

I've never had a TB gasket come apart.  They always seem to stick to the TB and beak away from the manifold rather neatly.

Hylomar is good stuff, but I use Chapstick on intake system gaskets.  It never gets sticky!
