99 Camry Intermittent Die at Idle, Need HelpProMan 02-05-2008, 08:54 AM Hi, After warm up, sometimes the engine dies at idle. Symptom began couple weeks ago, only after warm up and intermittent. After it dies, you can start it right up with no problem at all. Anyone has the same problem? Any suggestions? Mike Gerber 02-05-2008, 01:29 PM Clean the throttle body, paying particular attention to spraying the cleaner liberally in the square or diamond shaped hole in the base of the throttle body. That port leads to your idle air control valve, where the problem probably lies. It is probably carboned up or gummed up. Use spray throttle cleaner or O2 safe carb cleaner. I recommend spraying the cleaner liberally down there first thing; then go on to clean the rest of the throttle body while the cleaner soaks in to the idle air control valve. If this cleaning doesn't help, you will need to remove the idle air control valve and disassemble it to do a more thorough cleaning.
