From: Michael on 27 Feb 2010 21:11 My wife's '99 Camry (~98k miles) shudders a bit when starting the engine while it's warm. I'm considering swapping the throttle body (and the IAC valve attached to it) from my '96 Camry (175k miles) to her '99, and putting hers in my car. Is this a bad idea? Will they even fit? Is the design significantly different?

I've heard this stuttering is due to a bad IAC valve. I cleaned it, and the problem persists.

I've heard this stuttering is due to a bad IAC valve. I cleaned it, and the problem persists. <JS> So? Wait until it throws a code, else you are chasing your tail. If you chcked and cleaned it, then the problem isn't what you want it to be. Wait, Grasshopper. Be patient. </JS> |
