This saved me! My truck wasn't ideling poorly but was having a delay during acceleration. Cleaned throttle body, changed spark plugs, and still had the problem. Now it's gone! Subscribed for life! Thanks buddy!
MY 2020 Tacoma idled bad (up and down from day one) I did not disconect my battery but followed the directions and now the idle is stable, Thanks again.
Brotha this is my source for all my 2nd gen needs! Every one has moved on the 3rd gens...🤷♂️
🍻
Not me. 2007 204,000
Not me 2. 2007 245.555 Just broken in. Will wait for 4th gen. ;-)
05 262,000. Bought it new from dealer.
Not me either, as of 12-27-2020 my 2007 Tacoma TRD Sport shows 74210 miles. I recon at this rate, I will wait for Gen 7 before I move up.
After the dealer advised me it would cost $750 to change the plugs on my 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport, with 50K miles, I decided to it myself--an hour, with battery disconnected, later job completed! Started right up --idle high and not steady. Applied Reset tip from your video---perfect! thx.
Glad it helped! That's crazy pricing for a spark plug change.
I had the same issue with high idle on my 06 Tacoma after disconnecting my battery and watching your video I tried it and it worked. Thanks again. That’s the best thing I tried on my truck before spending couple hundred dollars and a headache that comes with it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This video cured my whoahs. After cleaning the throttle body and replacing Spark Plugs and valve cover gasket I was experiencing high idle in park (2000 rpms). Once I followed these reset steps I was golden. The idle came way down and The truck runs like new(165,000 miles). Smooth at idle and the shift points transition seamlessly. Thanks for this tip!!!
Nice!
Congratulations Bro!
THANK YOU!!! This has been nagging me for a week since I got the battery changed on my fj cruiser. You just saved me money and time!
Thanks mate! Worked on my 2012 FJ Cruiser after I installed some air horns. I nearly had a heart attack thinking my baby had a serious issue
Nice! Glad to see it working on tons of Toyotas.
Exactly what I was hoping it would work on. Thanks for making the FJ comment.
My 05 taco got a new battery and had a rough idle and was about 450 to 500 rpm’s tried your fix and first time runs like new! At 700 to 750 , thanks for the cool tip !👍🏻
Awesome, glad to hear it helped.
Worked for me! 2009 Tacoma... Had battery disconnected to remove seats... Went through the process twice, now idles exactly where its supposed to... Thanks!!
This relearn process worked great after new battery install, Throttle Body & MAF sensor cleaning, and new spark plugs. 2006 4Runner SE. RPMs settled in at 650.
Good stuff. Disconnected battery on 2011 Tacoma for 4 hours for engine bay cleaning. Idled rough at 450-500 upon reconnection. Drove around for 10 mins, started and stopped the engine a few times, and the computer seemed to recalibrate to normal 800-1000 idle speed. Will use this trick if issues reappear
Thank you so much I disconnected my battery last night and this morning noticed a rough idle when stopping at red lights. You’re the best Tacoma CZcamsr out there. You saved me a trip to the stealership
Thanks so much Adrian!
This fixed my rough idle issue after cleaning my K&N air filter, MAF senor and throttle body. THANKS!!
2010 Tacoma DC PR TRD Sport 152K miles
Great to hear!
Changed my spark plugs. Had a failed start and panicked. Thanks for this video. It helped me greatly
Disconnected the battery to install winch, new freedom off-road upper control arms, Huns and cv axles. Great video thank you
This is great... thanks. I just installed new seat covers on my 07 tacoma 4.0 v6
(255,605.0 miles)normally runs flawless.... I had disconnected the battery, as I find it easier to remove the front bucket seats while changing seat covers...
After completing the task, I noticed very low idle.. almost stalling when stopping while in drive.. this cured it. Thanks 😊
You should change the title. This worked perfectly on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma sport... big thumbs up.
Worked for my 2014 Toyota Hilux manual transmission. Thanks for the information
changed my washer fluid pump... hooked my negative post back up, went to town and noticed every stop light, it felt as if it would shut off... CZcams it and bam fixed it... THANKS
I just installed the AlphaRex Crystall Luuxx LED Headlights... I tapped into the inside of the Cabin area so as to use the Ignition Fuse bank. The signals would not blink right , until I started it up Oh 2007 Tacoma X-Runner by the way .,,,It fixed the Blinking issue , but it has an idle now like it's 15 degrees , higher than normal idle . I haven't left the Driveway yet , so I'm gonna use this Fix (hopefully ) that you demoed here ... Thanks.
Thanks man. I replaced my plugs so I disconnected the battery
Your tip worked 1st time
Blessings
Again, thank you for the tip. You are a wealth on knowledge. I love these videos.👍
Thanks Mike! I love making them. We all win. 😀
Holy crap it worked!!. I replaced my battery yesterday, truck was idling at 450rpm cold then rose up to 650 when warm.
I just did this trick, now my idle is back at 1030ish-1044rpm... (I have a digital gauge)... no more rough idle.
THANK YOU! INSTANT SUBSCRIBE!!.
Thanks for the sub! Glad to hear it worked.
Second time I’ve done this and it works!
This worked on my 2013 Tundra. Thank you so much. Saved me a trip to the shop.
Great to hear!
did you change the battery? just changed mine and i’m idling real low.
Worked for my 3rd gen. Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome, great to hear!
Had a crank/no start and.had the battery disconnected while I was troubleshooting. Ended up replacing the fuel pump and had a rough idle at start up. Did this trick and it was purring like a kitten in less than 2 minutes. Until the next time these poorly designed pumps burn up again. Hope mine is in the recall! That topic for another time. Anyway, great tip and great video. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Brian!
Normal idle after warmed up is 850 rpm without any accessories on for the v6. Great tutorial, always wondered why it always stalls after disconnecting battery on initial startup. Good looking out,👍👍
Thanks Pete!
Today I started my truck only to have it instantly stall, over and over again and the throttle body was making a whining noise and being held shut when the ignition was on. I tried this method and was blown away when it fixed my problem. I also had codes P0121, P0123 and P2135. Thanks!
Worked perfectly on my 06 4Runner. Thanks!
Awesome!
Yoooooo this worked on my 2007 Toyota Avalon XLS!!! It worked immediately!!! Good look peoples!!! 👍🏿
Nice!
Just used this on my '07. Had no idea -thanks so much!
Awesome, glad it worked!
Worked for me. Thanks man. I appreciate your time making these videos and helping us out!
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Worked for my 2013 Tundra. Thanks for the info.
Good to hear!
Omg,,,
Soo simple.....wow....I'm spechless...it is so beautiful...Did I said it's so simple...lol
I thank you for the info..got it done by 3:15 am....Love from Miami..
👍👍👍 it works. Did it once on 07 tacoma base 2.7
This worked for my '05 Taco this morning. It was running rough for weeks after I disconnected the battery and even before that. Idling at 450, it vibrated the cab and was noticeable through the steering. This quick fix restored the idle quality. It now idles smoothly at 650 rpm. Thanks for sharing!
I have the same problem. Took battery cable off trying to isolate an alarm issue. But I have nearly your same stats. Low rpm 400 500 +/- shakes and died once.
However, I tried this a few times and doesn't seem to have an affect. Dod you do anything different than what was in the video? Thanks. '05 Taco v6.
@@georgethornock3547 I don't recall doing anything different than what is shown in the video that I can recall.
@@Kaneguy ok thanks for the quick reply. I found another Toyota video that addressed a similar thing. Not taco but still Toyota. Seemed to have more of an affect for me.
1. Cycle to the on position and off twice. On the 3rd time start the engine.
2. Set brake & put into drive.
3. Let run for 5-7 min.
4. Put in park and turn off.
5. Turn on again like normal, should have 'learned' where it should be.
For what it's worth.
Thanks again!
It worked on my 05 4runner thanks man keep up the good work !!!!
Awesome, glad to hear it.
Thanks! I cleaned the throttle body in my 2010 4L 6spf taco and this helped resolve the weird idling after the clean.
Truck drove fine and shifting through the gears was fine but as soon as I was in neutral at a stop it would bounce between 1-2k rpm
After doing this at temp the idle is back at 600 in neutral.
Thanks!
definitely gonna try this on my 07 4runner I’ve been idling really choopy ever since wiring in a new lightbar
worked on my 5th gen limited. pressed power button once without depressing brakes. did the 3x thing with the accelerator pedal. saved my life. thanks!
Awesome glad to hear it.
What is a 5 th generation ?
@@7777LORENZO 4Runner probably
@@7777LORENZO 5th Gen 4runner, sorry I should've been more specific.
Thank you
Once again another AWESOME video thanks for the info👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy!
Thanks great vido!! I'm experiencing a rough Idle and have replaced the battery I'll give this a try.
Let me know if it helps.
Thanks for this video... I almost probably spent lots of money on trying to find a solution..
Worked for my 16 Tacoma 🤙🏼
Worked on my 99 4runner 🤷♂️ thanks for saving me 60 dollars!
Awesome!
Holy shit, I actually need this since my daily driver 2013 has been idling rough!
I did disconnect my battery to clean the terminals of the battery as suggested by my Toyota dealer. No comment from them about idle problems after. Strange though the truck ran well after several starts until it suddenly started but then as if fuel starved shut down. The next day it started fine and kept running though a bit rough. I'll try the reset 'truck's and hope it works,
“And 1 more time. With feeling!” Lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The last time I disconnected my battery was a few weeks ago when I tore out my whole lower dash to redo the wiring for all my accessories. The only casualty was now my airbag light is stuck on. The rest of the truck works fine.
Love the Attenborough bit😂
Got a 08 prerunner manual and my truck could no longer idle I did this trick and it's running like champ
Thank you so much. you saved my life.
Thanks man definitely worked
Glad to hear it.
My son and I just changed out the plastic pipe that goes from the water pump along the engine block to the rubber hoses to the heater core with a 40 dollar metal one. I could see a mechanic trouble shooting saying oh "you need a new water pump ". We learned these plastic pipes disintegrate and leak at the pump. To get to the bolts the intake had to come out and of course disconnect battery. Everything went well( 3hr job)untill restart, tried the reset computer no go. What did work was clean the throttle body(1hr. job) and then she idled like normal. My 3rd Tacoma, 450k, 390k, I'm at 270k on this one , runs beautifully.
Thanks I thought I needed a tune up
Worked for me
Man my truck been idling whacky for months after numerous battery disconnections while piece mealing a sound system together as I got money could never figure it out and here I was thinking I was once again going to have to replace spark plugs. Turns out the issue was probably this all along. Running 550 to 750 depending how hard I've been pushing it at idle while cut off before secondary cat manifold no more random engine jumps and I'm a happy camper again
Thank you!
Thanks, u don't know how much it was helpfull to me 😊😊😊😊😊!
Huge help. thank you
Glad it helped!
This actually helped me so thank you sir
Glad to hear it.
Thanks so much!
Did the alternator, and plugs. Mine was running below 500 rpms, and was rough at idle. This seems to have corrected the issue. Time will tell. Lmao
Thanks, it worked on 1995 t100
Awesome!
I like the way you explain everything so I got a question for you how can I adapt some fog lights to my Tacoma 2011 it does have the holes for the lights but doesn’t have the pre connection
Thanks for watching! I actually have a friend do all of my electrical stuff.
It worked on a 08 Sienna as well.
Thax had battery replaced will try it
Thanks
i came looking for the same problem but for the hilux 2014 its similar to the tacoma ,, and like you said with out doing anything my throttle just relearned it self and the rpm is on 800 when the car is idle ,, but is there is anyway to make the throttle sensor response just like the old mechanical linkage ? couldn't find anyway
Awesome
I had a similar issue... it was much simpler in my case. A simple vacuum leak in the Catch Can tubing.
Dude what is wrong with you how can you be this smart and not a mechanic! Goddamn this fixed everything after new plugs and a new thermostat and water pump!!! I didn't even think about the fact I had my battery disconnected!!
The 5 dislikes are the mechanics that just lost customers
Lol the mechanics love my "Avoid the Stealership" series
You are a god
Sweet video, man! Is this the “Idle Relearn” process? I have to replace my pedal position sensor, and the idle needs to be “relearned” is what the parts guy told me.
Yeah this should be very similar if not the exact process.
Hey I just changed my thermostat and it took longer than it should because I ended up needing a new radiator plug as mine somehow lost its o ring. Its not doing the vibrating everytime its idling but when it does its idling lower than the norm (1k RPMs) and will be ar around .5k RPMs. I also notice a rattling at times
Was just at a gas station and noticed my 2010 tundra slightly surging. 141k miles I’ve owned the truck for a little over a year now. I just tried this out when I got home an my RPMs are back to a steady 700 at idle.
Awesome! Glad to hear it works for Tundras as well.
Thanx
Love you saved my ass
Buetiful tacoma ❤😂🎉
Sir I have to tell you thanks I use your idea and fix my 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 I watch your video 02/12/2023 about 1500 and I follow your idea and it work I crank up my pickup truck 16:30 and the problem gone I usually have to crank it 2 to three times I thank you 🇯🇲
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the awesome video. Gonna try this tomorrow. I noticed your flashlight connected to your cigarette lighter socket. Looks cool. Whats the link?
Thanks Barry! Here's a link for that flashlight: amzn.to/2XALdnj
Tacoma went from litterally shaking on start up to running smooth thx
Where did you get those Knobs for the 4x4 switch and the heater knobs
Here's a link to the ones I have: amzn.to/2oSBWpa but that Amazon seller, AJT Design, has a ton more color options available on their Amazon page.
So a while back you did a walk through on someone’s tacoma and they mentioned they did a review mirror mod were they raised it up so its not blocking there view as much. Ive been searching everywhere and cant find anything on it and im 6’3 so i have the same problem do you by chance know anywhere i can find info on that???
Hey buddy! It's the mirror riser kit from Birddawg Industries: www.birddawgindustries.com/tacoma-mirror-riser.html
May I ask will this fix the idle dropping to 500 rpms and motor shutter after battery was disconnected? Also dead spots in acceleration? Hope so Thank you so much
Greetings! I'm not sure if it will address those specific issues, but worth a shot.
Last time I disconnected the Battery, it was to do the battery replacement mod.
Yeah, the modification of changing the dead stock one to a not toyota battery that’s in the cheapest range or one up from the low low basic get by
I’ll have to re watch the bideo to comment on what I think, although I try not to.
Hello thx, one question, can I do the same to my 2005 Toyota sequoia limited?
I'm not sure on that one.
Hiw do you fix the idle after installing a afe power throttle body. Idles quite high
Just did my alternator and belt
My 2005 is running around 500 rpms what's your thoughts? I checked for vacuum leaks and I also put new plugs and coils in it.
Has the battery been disconnected recently?
Where you get the knobs for a/c and 4x4?
Here's a link for my specific setup, but they have other color options as well: amzn.to/2XGmQzi
its works also on landcruiser 2010..
Hi, I just subscribed your channel. Hey, I have 2006 2.7l base cab. I performed the relearned steps few times already. My idle is steady but it just around 550 I guess so when its on gear, it shakes a little. Is there a way to increase it to like 700? Thanks
Thanks for the sub Alexander! I'm not sure about ways to boost the idle RPM a bit.
@@Tacomaholic That's ok. I'll research more. Thanks for the response.
I replaced my catalytic converter and sensors and had to reset my Check Engine Light by disconnecting the battery . And after starting it I was freaking out . If anyone has some pro-tips on why my exhaust was spitting oil out , I'm all ears because I have to get it smog on Feb 28, 2022 .... I have already replaced the ( PCV Valve ) and Cat .....
P.S. Thanks for this video it was really help and gave me a piece of mind ...
Have you checked to see if any codes were thrown when the check engine light was on?
@@Tacomaholic Just P0420 Cat....I just replaced it today and cleared computer . I don't see any oil but than again its a new Cat. Convert...
@@Tacomaholic By the way you have a awesome channel , I'm glad I found it ..
@@Gilly714 Thanks buddy!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Hi, a few weeks ago I shared battery using jumper wires, the RPMs were affected when I was backing home. Could this process help me to reset it? Thank you!
It won't hurt anything so it's worth a shot.
