Bro I’m having the same problem rn I have a 03 Toyota Camry 2.4 I just bought a new mass air flow sensor on rock auto. Hopefully that fixes the issue I’ve also tried cleaning it
My wife's 2004 Camry is so bad it stalls when coming to a stop half of the time. If it doesn't it idles at about 500rpm and shakes like crazy. In the middle of cleaning it out now. 🤞 This works!
@@hl91666 ended up having to swap injectors and cleaned out MAF to get it to run good. It ran better after MAF cleaning but would still shake and die. Changing out the injectors fixed the issue.
great job...I might have to watch your video a dozen times to make sure I am familiar with what I am disconnecting and how to put it back together...would have been nicer if you were neighbor to make sure I do it right 😁😁
My 2006 Camry throttle has a slight initial sticking point which tends to make it take off from a stop with a surge. I was hoping to find the TB nice and accessible so I could spray the pulley area with penetrating spray but no, buried. Thx to your video I can get to it.
The guy I bought my camry from ran it on 3 cylinders for half a yr. Cost me $2 at the pick n pull to get rid of it but I didn't think about how much damage had been done. Installed a new catalytic converter (from Toyota for $1380, yes, more than I paid for the car.....(California pzev vehical) it also has a valve stem seal issue to where it smokes upon first startup. Just reset the maintenance soon light and had to have to it wrong cause now it won't idle! Holy f! 238k miles and still 24 mpg around town, otherwise this money pit would be gone. Love the car, truly do but it's now claimed a part of my soul in trade for overpriced over engineered parts!
@joshuaslye6240 the bad idle turned out to be a bad maf, what threw me off is the fa t I had replaced it 4 months prior. Only thing the cat really did was not let the car pass emmisions. That leaky valve seal man, it kills cats
@joshuaslye6240 that sucks man sorry to hear. Good thing is long the maintenance has been done, the car will damn near last forever. I've even had to get parts for my new car, very few are perfect from the lot. Best of luck
Not autistic me making an itemized list so i can fix my wifes shitbox 😂😂😂 holy cow this camry is beat to shit im definitely taking time off work to do this myself soon
Hell I soak that whole plate in the and everything around there with an entire can before I even finish I use way more than this guy did cleans all the gunk out of the intake hell the old days they used to start the car and spray it while it was running and then somebody would hold the accelerator so it wouldn't die
Is there idle air control valve on this 2005 Camry? I got my throttle body cleaned, new air filter, cleaned MAF sensor as well, but the car still vibrates time and again with AC on. With AC off, everything is smooth and quite.
I think the IAC is built into the the TB. I’ve been having same issue, stalled a few times, could be dangerous. I was thinking maybe replace the whole TB, but then the fuel injectors can be the culprit too. Idk
@MaxK777 my problem is that the RPM go down with AC turning off. Also if the car is idling and give a tap on the gas pedal, it will rev up and then go down below the limit to vibrate the car and then the RPM will jump back to normal. That is very frustrating because I have new filter, new plugs, also got my injectors machine cleaned but still this issue is not solved. I also get my throttle body cleaned regularly. Got a new MAF sensor cleaner as well, that also didn5 make a difference.
@MaxK777 yeahh let me know if it does solve your issue. My mechanic also suggested that I replace the throttle body, but I am not sure if it solves my issue or not, as currently, my car runs fantastic. It's only at idle it disappoints me.
Yes, a dirty throttle body can cause your engine to idle a slightly higher rpms than it would normally. In my experience it idles maybe a few hundred rpm higher (300-400 at max) and cleaning the throttle body helps with that.
@@Mrparkkila I figured it out, it was the ehxaust pipe was clogged with the Main Cat Convertor which is no longer there anymore. I cleaned it out and now have power again aside from a slight rattle. Can't pass a smog check though...😁
Do you have to do this after a alternator job ?? Because I just got a new alternator An now my car RPM very low An keeps turning off at lights An stop 🛑 signs
If you haven't fix your low idle problem just TH-cam learn re-ital on your Toyota Camry and it'll show you how to do it that always happens when you reset the battery it has to relearn the idle
Cleaning the inside of the throttle body doesn't seem worth it. All that rubber ducting is dirty too and that's not being cleaned at all so I'd rather just pull the MAF sensor and clean it in-hand.
@@Timmyhk2 Yeah I just did this a couple days after that comment. Once i had the MAF off it would have taken 5 minutes tops. I probably could have and should have. But fixing a few vacuum leaks and fastidiously cleaning the MAF was all it took to solve the problem. The car runs great so I'm happy.
The throttle body has the butterfly-valve at 12% to 14% at idle. At this low %, the valve is barely open with a small gap. The dirt built-up in front and behind the two valve-closing positions will make the idling very rough. So cleaning these places in throttle body is significantly useful. Pulling out the MAF sensor and clean it in-hand is a very good advice because the exposed element is the temperature sensor only; the MAP sensor element is hidden in the curved short ducts that need a few good sprays to blast the solvent thoroughly through the short ducts.
Thanks, I just followed your video did the cleaning for my 2005 Camry. Man, as a amateur, it took me more than 2 hours.
Thanks for the video this actually helped my idle issue with the AC on and at a stop. I would get a awful shake and now it’s gone!

Thanks a bunch. I did all this on my 2002 Camry and it became a burgundy Lexus.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Fixed my low idle problem on 2005 Camry. Right on point 👍🏾
I did this on my Camry, it runs great now.
You make it look easy keep it up man
2006 Camry, 1 trip to AutoZone for a $10 can of cleaner - Stuck throttle actuator resolved. Thanks!

You even used the gas cap holder...i just learned about that myself
No nonsense video. Nicely done. Thanks.
Thank you for the video it made it easy not having to take off slot of parts

Leaky Valve stem seals common
What was the bad cat like? Did it have loss of power at low rpm and/or in low gear?

@@kswis Thanks for the info. My valve seal is definitely bad and the cat seems to be the likely culprit for my issues.

Simple and perfect video!!!!
Fantastic video worked like a charm, thanks!

Great video!! Thanks for socket sizes!
Watching your video I see you had done a job easy thank you for your video ❤
great tips, thankyou so much
I've never seen them spray the throttle body cleaner direct into it. I always saw them spray a cloth and clean it with it that.
Hell I soak that whole plate in the and everything around there with an entire can before I even finish I use way more than this guy did cleans all the gunk out of the intake hell the old days they used to start the car and spray it while it was running and then somebody would hold the accelerator so it wouldn't die
Nice video, can you show how to for a 2007 Toyota Camry
Excellent!!!
What is the name of that sensor that mounts to the ducting? I'm trying to find the screw size and I cannot find it anywhere! Thank you!
thanks man i had no idea i had to do this shit

@@zohaibanwar5919 strange because my RPM jumps down when AC goes on. I’m about to throw a new TB on it but then again who knows if that’ll fix it lol

If you are still having the problem try smoke testing for a vacuum leak.@@zohaibanwar5919
good
Isnt bad Wen opening the throttle body butterfly by hand ? Won't it mess up the calibration?
Good question. It won't mess anything up, it has a position sensor
did you disconnect the battery?
Would a dirty throttle body cause issues with idling and smog check?
Yes, a dirty throttle body can cause your engine to idle a slightly higher rpms than it would normally. In my experience it idles maybe a few hundred rpm higher (300-400 at max) and cleaning the throttle body helps with that.
@@Mrparkkila I figured it out, it was the ehxaust pipe was clogged with the Main Cat Convertor which is no longer there anymore. I cleaned it out and now have power again aside from a slight rattle. Can't pass a smog check though...😁
What’s the name of that slim vacuum hose that attaches to the crankcase?
Pcv
So it’s ok to spray down in there?
What's that blue thing with the lines going to it, what's that called?
Do you have to do this after a alternator job ?? Because I just got a new alternator An now my car RPM very low An keeps turning off at lights An stop 🛑 signs
u need to do relearn of the rpm search it on youtube its easy
I'm literally looking for the ground connection location on the driver side but no one knows how to record the whole engine
Had to disconnect battery for power steering work.. Now the idling is reset and goes to almost zero... Hope this will fix..
If you haven't fix your low idle problem just TH-cam learn re-ital on your Toyota Camry and it'll show you how to do it that always happens when you reset the battery it has to relearn the idle
So you you didn’t have to disconnect the battery?
You're supposed to anytime you disconnect a sensor, but it's low voltage and low risk in this case.
What is the cause is not rasing ?
Your video was made without novices in mind. No thanks
im a novice, literally only been driving for 2 years and have done everything in this video with this videos help.

From experience it’s most definitely worth cleaning the throttle body. It takes maybe 30 min tops
