Re: 93 Camry LE idle/fuel (?) problems.....

Well, it looks like cleaning the throttle body and ICS Valve didn't work like I hoped. Still no check engine light, and the only codes that were thrown were from the sensors that I unplugged while the car was running to do some tests. It's running better with the new plugs, plug wires, distibutor cap and rotor, and a little better with the cleaning of the throttle body, but it still has idle issues. Here's what its doing now....... At first start up, it idles and runs just fine at about 1000 or just a bit above. When the engine gets warm, the idle will drop to about 900, but it'll still idle fine for a while. After letting it run or driving it for a while, when I'm in Drive sitting at a light, the idle will dip below 900, the car will sputter once, and the idle will go back up. Sometimes, it'll do that a few times in a row. There doesn't seem to be a drop in power or actuall engine performance. My mechanic told me that the engine itself sounded just fine. I'm still planning on taking it to the mechanic on Monday to have him check the fuel pump, but I'm doubtfull that it's the pump (though I could be wrong, obviously). It's a consistant thing. Once the engine reaches operating temp, in steps the problem. A while back, a friend of mine ( which was my first mistake), put in some more anti freeze. When I got the car, it had the new orange stuff in it, which seemed a bit odd for a 93. My friend put in the regular green stuff, so, I don't know if that would cause any issues or not. I plan on flushing the system soon anyway. Any further ideas would be most welcome.
