Idle Tick Over
Idle Tick Over
Can anyone tell me is there a way that the idle tick over can be increased on the IS200 and if so how/where can this be done?
Mine hoovers around the 600 mark since I fitted the induction ages ago, but lately it's become a pain and I need to increase it a tad.

I don't think you can just alter it like you could in the all days, think it's all under electronic control.
So you think it's idling too low now ? Does it make a difference if the A/C is on or not (since the A/C compressor affects the idling speed) ?
Have you tried resetting the ECU to make it re-learn things and to see if that helps ?

Is it causing any problems?

The idle should be corrected but there could (in theory) be a problem with the a/c compressor and/or circuitry that is causing a problem.

Roadside Tech Is the IS completely FBW throttle?

Sparkystav No its a wired throttle, but assisted by a throttle motor
why the AC? Cous3 hasnt said what problem its causing yet?

The accelerator pedal operates a cable which is connected to the throttle body. A sensor there measures the opening on the cable, which feed a signal to the ECU. The ECU then tells the throttle body control motor how much to open the throttle.
In the event of a malfunction the electrical control drops out, and the mechanical throttle cable directly operates the throttle itself.
