2.7 idle question

I was wondering if its normal for my '06 2.7 to idle at 2400rpm just after start up. I have never owned an engine this small, so I'm pretty well lost.

 

my '05 2.7 idles around 1200

 

That seems a little high. My Taco first start of the day with idle about 1500rpm until it's warmed up. The high idle is usually for emissions equipment, the catalysts don't work well until they're warm.

 

Mine idles around 2000 rpm when it is cold. After it warms up it is around 700 rpm.

 

is your foot on the gas when you start it

 

oh and is that in canadian revolutions per minute or american?

haha jk, to be useful mine stars around 1500 then calms down as the engine heats up

 

even with emissions equipment, 2400 is pretty high

 

Any thoughts on th cause of this? I thought it was due to the cold but it still idled quite high at +4 (celsius)

 

i would try seafoaming to get rid of some carbon build up, however i am no mechanic and thats just a guesss

 

at 41,000 miles?

 

i did it at 25k and noticed a lot or benefit! In addition to a little bit of black dribbleing out the muffler, I notices a much smoother idle (And I did not have any issues with the idle before hand) and just smoother driving all around

 

Seafoam? You gotta be kidding me.. I'd either take it in or get a factory manual and start disecting it.. Find out what makes it idle. See if it's adjustable or replaceable.

 

That sounds loads safer to do than seafoam haha

 

Mine does the same thing, idles at about 2k before calming down. I've had a few other 4 cylinders and never had it happen before. It's kind of annoying..

 

It's a cold idle circuit. ECU controlled I thought. Gotta get a manual soon.

 

There's a free manual online somewhere. I don't have the link though!

 

could it be your air filter?

 

2400 seems pretty high to me too. My 2.7 idles at about 1500 at start up and will settle to a little over 1k after it warms up

 

the most mine will idel is 1000 at start up then it drops to around 500-600. of course, i have done some mods to the exhaust system

 

lol, this cracked me up . You never know!
