Toyota Land Cruiser high idle (easy fix)

[@johnjames01]

That's a good one, I'd say the owner was relieved he had you looking at it and not someone who'd be less than honest 😊

I was thinking all sorts in my head at the start, he’s complaint was he was getting choked when putting on the trailer in the morning 😂😂😂😂

@@kennedysgarage3281 Oh God yeah, I didn't think of that 😄 Mad, I never knew they came with that switch.

I remember driving Nissan's pickups 10-15 years ago had the same solution with a button to increase the idle for cold weather to warm up the engine faster. And only gave higher idle if the shift gear and clutch were disengaged, so only if the car was stand still.

I have seen lots of that type of set up years ago, but to be honest I thought that kinda stuff was gone with years. Opting for electronically controlled set ups. It took me over an hour to figure this one out 😂😂😂😂

Sometimes the easiest of problems get the better of us. At least you went through his whole car & it has a clean bill of health. After all, it is a Toyota.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Those were my thoughts exactly, I couldn’t find anything wrong then low and behold it was a button press that was needed 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂😂

Tell ya..It took me 5 years owning a BK Mazda 3 to realise I could stream Spotify from my phone to the car stereo just b pressing the AUX button..😂❤❤❤

On the button there Peter 👍

I spent an hour at this Kevin 😂😂😂😂

It's a fast idle for warmup during winter. Don't know why it's fitted for UK and Ireland.

I had an LC120 so knew about that!

Nobody ever reads the owner's manual! 😂

[@kennedysgarage3281]

It was given to me to figure out why it smelt so bad in the mornings, I never even thought of the manual 😬😬😬

@@kennedysgarage3281 Long time ago I had a Nissan Navara as a company car. Had it from brand new so obviously I had to push every button it had (which weren't many) because of curiosity. With engine not running I couldn't understand what "heat" would mean since it was doing nothing. Later I figured out by accident of course ( never read the manual of course) 🤣. Nice option however during cold winter mornings.

[@alexdragomirescu5084]

@@kennedysgarage3281 no... it's a system made to heat up the engine faster / keep it warmer when you're standing still in very cold climates. It's a work truck at the end of the day. Sometimes those trucks take some serious abuse when you are on site. In Canada / Siberia I understand they don't even shut down the engine during night because of extreme low temperatures.

@@alexdragomirescu5084 wow, f_ck me. They just leave them running 24hrs. That’s mad, the temperature must be fair low for that. Wicked interesting though 🙏🙏

Interesting what that's for high idle never seen it before?

[@nathanlittle8945]

To warm the engine/ cabin quicker

I spend an hour interrogating live data & scouring the net, to no avail then found the button 😬😂😂😂😂

lol

[@kennedysgarage3281]

I was an hour or more before I figured this on out 😂😂😂😂

I've never seen it before, just think how long that would take to find if the words rubbed off with age.@@kennedysgarage3281
