My rebuilt (new head and belts, seals etc) 95 GT convertible is hunting for an idle around 800-1100 RPM and occasionally falters and dies.

When I got it back from the shop the second time ($2500.00 so far) they had cleaned out the throttle body and the cold idle was working for the first time in years but it was idling fast. Now it is back to no cold idle and it is thready on idle at best. Toyota wants $140.00 to diagnose problem and $550.00 to replace IAC if needed and it will be needed as well as who knows what else.

Tried the carb cleaner in the IAC trick, no help. Runs like a tiger at speed, but won't idle worth a damn....

Anyone know a shop that really knows the 2200 L in the Central California area? The shop that rebuilt the head just tightened up the throttle cable so it was idling (poorly) at 1400-1600 rpm.

Need a reference for a shop that actually knows Toyotas. It is a Federal smog set-up 2200L 5SFE 5 speed.
