my car runs like ass cold.
idle bounces between 1600-2100K

eventually, it'll warm up and the idle will fall down to about 8-900ish. but after you drive it, a lot of the time (though not all) it will often idle at 1900 rpm (constant, no rev)
if you start it warm, it idles ok, untill you drive it a little bit then it goes back up to 1900.

other then that, it runs fine....
(well, if you don't count the heat/ac or the cruise, which don't work...)

blarg.
and thanks, i'll look into the partsnet thing.

they do not appear to carry anything for the 3rd gen 3sge.

[Rusty]

Yeah, I think they just listed the parts people are most likely to want/buy, wouldn't hurt to ask.

But just want to confirm if it is coming up with a CEL?

And have you had a looked at the 3S-GE manual page EG-258 (not too sure if you had checked it or not)
has good info on how to check if its faulty

[giraffe]

check engine light=no.

well, sometimes i get a (can't remember the code) "engine idle above 3000 while not in gear" or something like that. but the light and the idle weirdness don't coincide. (and it clears every time you turn off the car) i've been told that the light has something to do with it being a jap motor and a someother ecu and the ecu doesn't recognise the cat, but who the hell knows.

and no, i haven't checked it yet (but it acts like a icv problem), so i guess maybe i'll get off my lazy butt tomorrow and test it.
what the heck, maybe i'll learn something.
/narf.

p.s. thanks for the page number, makes life a little easier.........

[giraffe]

one more question, i don't know if i have a st202 or a sw20.....
where do i look to find out?

[Rusty]

ST202 = Celica
SW20 = MR2

there are small differences between the 2, as one is located in the front (celica) and the other in the rear (MR2) - nothing really to worry about as any differences in pictures/ measurements are labelled ST202 or MR2.
