the air fuel is controled by the oxygen sensor, located in the exhaust manifold. the idle is controled by the iscv(idle speed control valve) it is located on the intake manifold opposite to the trottle body The ECM (engine computer) uses various sensors (intake air temp, engine coolant temp, throttle position, manifold air pressure sensor) and a few I'm sure I missed to determine how long to keep the fuel injectors open so that the engine has the proper amount of fuel to go with the air so the engine runs efficiently. Once the Oxygen sensor warms up to 600 degrees the computer uses the signals from the oxygen sensor to determine whether a little more or llitle less fuel is needed . There is a flat head screw on the throttle body that can be adjusted to allow a little more or a little less air which will raise or lower the idle speed.

Why does Toyota Paseo run rough at no 1 and4 5EFE engine at idle?

A rough idle in a Toyota Paseo with a 5EFE engine could be attributed to several factors, including vacuum leaks, faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, or issues with the fuel system such as clogged fuel injectors. Additionally, problems with the idle air control valve or a dirty throttle body can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, leading to rough idling. It's essential to conduct a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause. Regular maintenance and addressing any warning lights can help prevent these issues.


Could over revving be caused by faulty idle air control valve?

No! it only controls the air/fuel mixture at idle - it is by-passed when the engine revs-up. Generally, when there is a problem with the air control valve it causes the idle to become erratic and 'hunt' and maybe the engine keeps stalling.


How does a idle air control valve work?

An idle air control valve controls the engine idle revolutions by opening/closing to let more/less air into the throttle body (carburetor)-the car computer reads and controls the valve.

What causes a diesel to idle?

Diesels run on compressed fuel and air. An injector pump sprays fuel into the cylinder and mixes it with the air. When the piston rises to the top of the cylinder it compresses the fuel / air mixture and causes the mixture to ignite powering the engine. The speed of the engine is controled by the throttle plate which controls the amount of air entering the engine as well as the metering valve on the diesel pump which controls the amount of fuel that is sprayed into the cylinder.


Is the mass air flow sensor the same as idle control valve?

No, the MAF measures the amount of air entering the engine, while the idle control valve controls the amount of air at idle.
