After cleaning the MAF and throttle body car was idling high and check engine light came on; car was running REALLY rough. I tried this then my car would not start. Waited a few minutes then it started and now runs great. My car has 224,000+ miles and is much needed for traveling to medical appointments. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Thank you VERY much. 😊
Best video ever. Just replaced my battery and was idling at 250. And within 30 sec. It started picking up idle quickly and settled after 3 min. Thank you . 2023!!
I replaced the battery on my 2003 Camry which I’ve done several times before but this time my vehicle had all the symptoms of this video. I had an auto parts store check my alternator and they told me I needed a new alternator. Anyhow I found your video and I followed all the steps and now it runs perfectly! (No new alternator needed) Thank you for posting.
Have an 01 camry with almost 295,000 miles. Got a new battery & thought our car had finally kicked the bucket. You are a LIFESAVER & fixed the issue. Thanks for the video
This guy is still a legend in 2022! Thank you. I was afraid I had some other real serious issues. Had the alternator replaced recently and that’s when the low idle started. God bless you for sharing this knowledge.
Just had my alternator replaced yesterday and having the same issue with my 08 jeep Cherokee. Afraid I bought a bad alternator or that It killed my new battery
thank you so much for the video! i had my battery replaced today at the mechanic's and i as was driving home it died. after panicking for 15 minutes, i found your video. 7 minutes later, i was on my way home. :)
I've had this problem on my Corolla every time I changed the battery or disconnected the terminals. I changed my battery yesterday and had the problem come back again and the fix in this video worked. Always thought it had something to do with the computer losing its mapping data due to the reset. Thanks!
Holy crap this actually worked. I have a 2009 toyota matrix 1.8L. Had very rough idle when warm. Idled about 500rpm and after doing this it now idles about 700rpm and is very smooth. Thank much!
Not gonna lie .. I panic like a baby ... thank you so much... .. I sell cars and the guy is picking up the car tonight but battery was dead.. omg you save my day .. my car runs great now
Spent a grand on a new ac compressor and drove it put of the mechanics, stalled on me, thought it was going to be another grand but VOILA!!! Brilliant bro, thank you!!
I had no clue about this. I thought my car was done for. Thank you so much it idles at a solid 650 which is dead on where it should be. You got another subscriber bro!!
That's some awesome knowledge and tutoring. Also that car has almost 200,000 miles, thumbs up to the person that knows the value importance of a clean vehicle 😎
This saved my Camry! I was so worried that something more serious was going on but I was sure it couldn't be intake control valve or throttle body, or wiring since all I did was disconnect the black battery terminal to do work on my car the day before. Now I know for the future. Many thanks!
It also works for the reverse situation. Cleaned the 250,000 mile throttlle body after changing the plugs. Come to find out, they were the original ngk plugs. Anyhow, i got it all back together to find it now idling at 2000 rpm. Unpluged the neg. Battery terminal for 30 min. Per a different video. Brought the idle down to 1100. Found this video did the thing for 7 min. And all better. Thanks a million. (2006 3.3 Highlander)
SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU! I would not have believed this would work - such a simple thing, and the battery had been disconnected - so what did I have to lose? It worked great! Glad you said, "7 minutes" because it took exactly 7. Thank you so much!
This video is amazing! I disconnected my battery due to changing a valve cover gasket. Barely wanted to stay running. After following these instructions, my car is running great!
You’re a genius! I’ve put a lot of work into my 2002 Sequoia I just got back after my son destroyed it in college. Just replaced battery and now it won’t idle. Did your technique and it worked flawlessly! Thank you!!!
Thanks heaps! This worked like a charm. It ran beautifully after following your instructions. I was actually surprised at the difference. It was even better than before the battery was changed. It must have been sluggish since the previous battery change in 2019. Wow, so simple. Thanks again. Much appreciated!
Man, you saved me. This was my last hope. I had disconnected the battery on my 08 Tacoma to upgrade the alternator. Ended up replacing valve cover gaskets, fuel injectors, fuel regulator, fuel pump upgrade, intake plenum gasket, upgraded to URD Tundra 74mm throttle body…etc. I thought I had messed something up. I was checking the diagnostics PIDs on my scanner and started troubleshooting. Came across this video, did a test drive, and so far so good! Thank you thank you thank you
My man !!!!! I changed the alternator in my sons 2010 Corolla & thought I destroyed it after I put it back together. Watched your video & it’s good to go !! Thank you 🙏
Awesome fix for my 2011 Camry! Thank you. I had my throttle body cleaned out on my 2009 Rav4 which somewhat took care of the problem but now that I think of it, the rough idle in that car started after I changed the battery...if only I had researched this prior to paying for that wasted service.
lol someone made a lot of cash off you that day. you do not need to do anything to the engine. Any time you disconnect the battery the engine computer loses all its memory. Same as taking the PRAM battery out of a computer.
AAA roadside just changed my 2002 toyota camry with new battery and was idling ruff and cut off just like your video. Your advice fixed it. Thanks a bunch!!
This actually worked!!! I had to ride the gas a little to keep the RMPs up so it wouldn't stall out but now I am cruising! Bro! You are doing God's work!
Thank you, this video was a HUUUUUGE help!! Not once but twice. Replaced my battery, had this problem, fixed it. 3 weeks later, battery terminal was slightly loose and caused the car to lose all power when I tried to turn the engine on. Cleaned and tightened it really tight and tried again and car turned on but same problem as before, very rough idle. Did this again and I’m good to go. Totally helped that we have literally the exact same car except I’m at 154k mileage haha
Dude you’re a legend!!! Just replaced my Valve cover gasket and had to disconnect batter before disconnecting my alternator to move the wires out of the way. Finished repair and drive off thinking it was all good and my car almost died at the first stop sign. Been sitting here making a list of things to check regarding the vacuum hoses and wires I unplugged/moved and found this video. Did this first since it was the easiest and my car is back to normal!
Dude!! Thank you! I just replaced my spark plugs on my 2007 Camry and had the battery disconnected. Same iridium plugs it had and it was idling pretty bad. I drove it around thinking the computer would figure things out but still idled rough. Thank you for this!!
man this saved my ass. Thank you SO much. 2010 matrix 145k miles; swapped battery - thought I somehow shorted the ECU or some crazy thing like that. No idea about ECU memory - insanity. Huge thanks!
I ran out my garage when it worked 😂 so tomorow will be the big test but man it was a good feeling seeing the check engine leave man god bless you and your family
I tried the same process, but instead of putting it in drive, I shifted into first, holding the clutch in and just sat there for a while. Sure enough. After a couple few minutes, the idle speed came up to around 700 rpm. Thank you for this video! Awesome!
I haven’t drove my car for a month and the mechanic’s told me it might be a engine problem or something with the fuel system , so I checked my fuse box and it was a bad etcs fuse #10 and my car is good now.
Wow. I was scared to death thinking I did something wrong during a timing belt replacement. Saved me a lot of stress. Wish I watched it yesterday before I took apart everything 3 times over.
Thanks Man your Idle Angel or Idle buster did it on a Lexus RX 300 I changed battery ,coils and spark plugs and thought the car is just scared or something 😂didn't know what else to do thanks man
Thank you so much your video saved me from open all the front again after 2 days battery disconnected due to timing belt change i really appreciate your video thanks again
im late to this note. i have a 07 matrix, and has the same issue, it idles low, but mine has manual transmission, this method was no good. do you happen to have any insight for manual transmission...? thank you
Thank you for instructing me on how to reset the idle speed on my car. I was somewhat dumbfounded about why I didn't understand that the idle had to be reset after you disconnect the battery on the car when installing a new alternator.
thank you sooooo much! Exactly what i needed to see to fix my uneven idle after a battery replacement. Of course the shop didn't do this, they just returned it to me arrggh! It got better but still would just be a little uneven at times. MY next question: how do I silence the car horn when locking and unlocking using the key fob? I tried the owners manual method but it doesn't work. Thanks! 2006 Camry
Your video is very helpful. It helped me more than a couple of times including today with my 2005 Toyota Matrix. Simple steps and the car is back to normal after disconnecting the battery. Thank you and much appreciated for this video.
Fckin amazing, I have a 2005 camry and I disconnected the battery to clean the engine bay, once I put it back nothing happened till 5 min later I noticed that I started losing power only at stops or when vehicle is stationary, this video saved me alot of time and money, thank you so much for uploading this video.
Thanks for this. My '09 Pontiac Vibe (Corolla powertrain) was not happy after disconnecting the battery for awhile to clean the corroded connections. Seems to be doing great now!
Thanks a lot for this very useful video. Any experience with idle reset on new Toyota Land Cruiser with the keyless system ? I mean by that do you have to start / stop the ignition by pressing the start button before starting the engine ?
My 2004 camry dies after idling at low rpm. Then it doesn't start. I got my starter tested at Advance Auto Parts, and it ran over there and passed the test. Now everytime my car dies after idling at extremely low rpm, i have to whack the starter a couple times to start. I cant even do this procedure if the car keeps dying on me.
What a legend lol. I was super worried. In traffic and watched this whilst driving and managed to fixed it :))) (dont use the phone whilst driving I was joking)
I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla it has the rough idle problem it has the old style throttle body with cable is this going to work or it’s only for electronic throttle body?
Just did both sequences for throttle reset based off this video and google. My 2020 trd Tacoma had a set idle of 1,000 after I did this but then 5 minutes down the road it went back to idling around 600 rpm again. 74k miles exact
Great informative video .. how did you find the procedure on stepping on brake,emergency brake and the let idle ? Also did you encounter any issues with the power windows or resetting any infotainment settings ?
Man thanks a lot. I change my headlight yesterday, for easier access i unhook the battery and air filter. My car idle drop to around 500 rpm and shake a lot. Thought I messed up the Mass Air Sensor. Tried this method,, fix everthing.
How do you warm it up or drive it out if it keeps dying? I have 08 Yaris won’t stay running unless I have it in neutral at stops with foot on gas then put it in drive which slams it into gear cuz if I let the gas go too much it shuts down!
Had to change my starter, and once I put it on the idled horrible and wouldn't stay running. Died on me at a stop sign. I was pissed... but then I found this old video, I didn't do it in the right order, and I had to stay parked and Rev the engine so I wasn't stuck in traffic, but this is a neat trick❤.
Thanks for this video. I wish I had known about it a couple months ago when my obd2 reader deleted my computer's memory. I had to drive 30-60 miles for it to reset. After disconnecting my battery for a repair this time, I tried your video advice. It worked perfectly. Thanks.
where tf do people learn this stuff, Thank you dude! was replacing my starter in my 2005 camry and had to remove the battery and after getting the car to start the idling was awful. This video fixed my issue and thought it was something worse than a simple trick. Much appreciated!

i changed my alternator two days ago and have had the same exact issue, going to try this after work when i get home i hope it works!
太感謝你了！怠速過低問題困擾我快三年。現在他回到700rpm以上，我沒有踩煞車板，只拉緊急煞車。等待過程中可以稍微轉方向盤左右兩次讓轉速發生變化，在5分鐘開始神奇的事情發生了，7分鐘後轉速正常了🎉
This really worked! I've changed the battery in my car several times over the years but this is the first time I've had it idle low after. Cheers!!!

Do you need to keep your foot on the brake?mine only idles low when it's in gear WITH my foot on the brake, it doesn't do it in park or rolling.
It dawned on me that it could be electrical as the brake lights come on when my foot is on the brake. Like it robs voltage from the ignition system.
@@Lw2201 that's most likely the cause. Or a vaccine leak on the brake booster
@@Lw2201 Check your battery and alternator. Dead battery or dead alternator making car run off the battery will have similar effect.

I have 08 Yaris won’t stay running unless I have it in neutral at stops with foot on gas then put it in drive which slams it into gear cuz if I let the gas go too much it shuts down!
Had to change my starter, and once I put it on the idled horrible and wouldn't stay running. Died on me at a stop sign. I was pissed... but then I found this old video, I didn't do it in the right order, and I had to stay parked and Rev the engine so I wasn't stuck in traffic, but this is a neat trick❤.
3:50 i notice with AC ON it idle lower but with AC OFF idle high, it should not be opposite i mean AC ON it should idle higher?
Thanks for this video. I wish I had known about it a couple months ago when my obd2 reader deleted my computer's memory. I had to drive 30-60 miles for it to reset. After disconnecting my battery for a repair this time, I tried your video advice. It worked perfectly. Thanks.
Do you keep your foot on the brake the whole time?
Is this for high idle too..
And is it just for toyota's ?
Thanks
where tf do people learn this stuff, Thank you dude! was replacing my starter in my 2005 camry and had to remove the battery and after getting the car to start the idling was awful. This video fixed my issue and thought it was something worse than a simple trick. Much appreciated!
It's in the dealer service manuals. Public is not supposed to know this info.
