Hard to tell, but it looks like it's not even there. You should have the three hoses and wiring there at the bottom going to the IACV. Odds are what happened is it went out and instead of spending the $200 to replace it they just used a block off plate and used the throttle to hold it at idle when out of gear.

Alright, thanks box for your help! It's going to be on my next buy list although i need to replace the tires and the Spark plug wires.
OT , i seen your celica box, it's really nice! Also, do you know where i can find the part online? This post has been edited by zomblaya: Nov 26, 2013 - 3:29 PM |

Not a problem. For the time being what you could do is adjust the throttle to where it's stuck open just enough to keep it idling around 800 rpm.
Aw, thanks. It's ok I suppose, nothing compared to what others on here have though. If it were me I'd start keeping an eye out on eBay for one. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Probably the easiest way would be to tighten the throttle cable up enough so that it doesn't let the throttle close all of the way.

QUOTE (zomblaya @ Nov 25, 2013 - 2:52 PM) Hello, i'm just going to start off as im a complete noob but i will try my best to describe the problem i'm having, yesterday i bought a 96 gt celica convertible (for cheep) and i found out it has a running 3sgte in it. the problem i'm having is that it idles extremely rough. and will die unless i rev it up abit but while driving and my foot on the throttle it runs fine, when i'm coasting (foot off the throttle for awhile untill rpms go down) the car will die if i don't keep it my foot on the throttle, a side note it is a very cold day today so i'm not sure if its the dense air or it's something completely different. but it almost seems like it's not getting gas if i'm not mistaken. but again i'm a noob, any help would be greatly appreciated Your car has a 2nd gen motor, but not air flow meter is visible in the picture. This means that its either missing, or the car is running on an aftermarket ecu that uses a map sensor. You might want to investigate this further to solve your problem. Also having the pipe from the turbo going directly to the throttle body is an extremely bad idea. You need some type of intercooler. The guy who owned this car used to be on this site years ago, and made some really odd decisions (like the lack of intercooler) in his swap. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

QUOTE (Box @ Nov 25, 2013 - 10:04 AM) Could be the IACV is completely clogged or seized, I'd look there first. 3S-GTE convertible? I think that might the first I've heard of anyone doing such, well at least in some time anyhow. I put a 3s in my convertible..FYI  I just found this thread, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but I've cleaned my IACV so it was functional again and I've seen others that are completely frozen and can't be taken apart to clean (even if soaked in lubricant).
