hey guys, i usually hang out over in the honda/acura section but my roommate is having a problem with his 91 celica gt-s so i figured i'd come to you.

OK, so as I said this in in regards to a 1991 Toyota Celica GT-S, it is automatic, and has the 2.2 liter engine.

A few weeks ago his alternator went and he took it to a shop and had that fixed. unfortunatly one of the battery terminals was shorting out and it fried the new alternator which the shop fixed free of charge.
Problem is after he got it back from the shop the second time the engine was occasionally idleing funny and when he would put it into reverse it would stall out.
He took it back and they cleaned out his throttle body, and said thats all they could think it was.

Well its been about a month and the idle has been getting gradually worse until now it happens constantly. The idle keeps bouncing from about 1100 down to 400 and back. He also says that he can smell gas vapors around the exhaust pipes?

Just wondering what you guys think it could be, he has an appointment at toyota on friday, so maybe i can figure it out first and save him some money. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Will
