Hilux 2.7i idle

Post by RudolfM »

Hi,

I recently bought a 2001 2.7i 4x4 double cab. It has a branch and freeflow exhaust fitted. Other than that the engine is standard according to the previous owner.

It idles as about 600-700 rpm which looks a bit low to me? It also has a slightly "lumpy" idle, almost like it has a performance cam in.

What should the normal idling speed for this bakkie be? And do they usually have a lumpy idle? If not, what can I check or adjust?

There is a idle screw on the part where you accelerator cable fit to. You can adjust that. Will need a 8mm spanner and small allen key. 800 to 900 rpm normal. Mine also have a bit of a rough but so little that you must listen very closely to hear it. Rough idle can be many things, start with the cheapest first and work to the expensive stuff; Plugs, air filter, clean airflow sensor, plug leads, coils, injectors, valves....

Maybe if you increase idle speed rough idle will go away.

Ek het die fout gekry. Die vacuum pypie het los gehang. Sy punt het onder die alarm se sirene gehang, so ek kon dit nie sien nie. Ek kon wel hoor êrens suig daar sommer sterk vacuum êrens. Ek neem dit is waar hy veronderstel is om in te gaan?

Bakkie idle nou 100% en ry sommer ook baie meer smooth en voel sommer of ek hy beter trek op lae revs ook.

Hound Dog also suffered from rough idling and would stall if the a/c was switched on. Garage could not seem to fix it. I have two 2700 Hiluxes, I eventually parked them side by side and compared the rubber hoses. that very same hose was missing entirely on Hound Dog and another rubber hose was incorrectly fitted between two other points.! Found a piece of rubber hosing, fitted it according to the other Hilux, re-routed the incorrect one and all was good afterwards.

Selfde het met my gebeur met 'n 2700i, soos ek oor geleun het om die olie filter af te haal moes ek een van daai vacuum pype af getrek het. My dood geskrik toe ek start maar kon toe darem die fout kry
