it sounds like your ISC is coked up. get a can of throttle body cleaner and clean your throttle body. Do NOT get throttle body/carb cleaner on the ISC. If you do, it will get in and destroy the coils on the inside and that may in turn fry your ECU. To check if it is your ISC, there is an analogue idle screw that will rev up your RPM. If this fixes it, do NOT leave the screw in that position. It's bad for your car. It means you need to either A. clean the throttle body out more or B. get a new ISC.

How do you start a car on GTR 2?

I know about the starter and ignition, but I click the ignition and then it clicks, then when I press and hold the starter it starts then immediatly stalls, I have tried it in neutral, in gear, with clutch, without clutch, with clutch and throttle.


My 1995 Toyota Tercel starts fine and sometimes it makes a clicking noise like a bad battery but the battery is new and has been tested. When i press down on clutch hard it starts fine?

It might have a problem with the neutral safety switch, (it's what is switched on when you press the clutch) The switch is behind clutch pedal. It looks a lot like a brakelight switch. If it's bad, the part is about 40 or 50 dollars. Good Luck!!!

Would a soleniod circuit for the transmission make a car not start?

It might depend on the vehicle and transmission in question, but usually a transmission fault, of any kind, will have little or no impact on the engine's ability to start. With a transmission solenoid problem, you may not be able to make the car move, but it should still start.About the only, transmission related problem that would prevent the engine from starting would be a faulty neutral safety switch, or maybe a faulty brake or clutch switch, which can definitely prevent you from starting the engine, even when working properly, that's their function. If the neutral safety switch is faulty, you may be able to start the engine with the transmission shifter in a position other than Park or Neutral, or not at all. Normal function allows engine starts in only Park or Neutral, and for automatics, sometimes only with the brake pedal depressed as well. On manual transmissions the neutral safety switch allows engine start only with the clutch pedal depressed.**Note: some older vehicle models may not be equipped with neutral safety switches, brake switches, or clutch switches.
