Hi Guys

I am new to this forum, so hi.

Anyways I have this problem with my Paseo (92) where it cannot keep a constant idle. I have done some checks and it seems like the MAF (little black senor stuck on the firewall that is connected to the inlet plenum with a vacum line) sensor is stuffed. Now i have tried the local Toyota dealer but he is a tool and doesnt want to help out with the part as the car is an import (i know all of them are) and he cant find it on his system.

So what i am asking first is, has anyone had a simliar problem and second can anyone help me out with this part. (This is what is written on the part: Sensor Assy Vaccum -89420-16020, -100798-2282, 5V, Denso).

Cheers

Fil

Mate, whereabouts are you? I can undoubtedly track you down one through my work. I'm in Slacks Creek, QLD.

Thanks the_random_hero, if you could track one down that would be awesome

I am in Perth. I am not sure how this would works, is it possible for you to send it here or do i pick it up for a toyota dealer here?

Oh and what would the cost be? ;)

I'll see if I can get the Toyota part number for you, so you can just ring them up and ask for one.

Just so you don't confuse parts interpreters, it's a MAP sensor, not a MAF. Very different things (MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure, MAF = Mass Air Flow)

ok cool... just with my experiences with 4AGE's... they experience a Hunting Idle problem when there is an Airlock in the Wax Temp Sensor in the Auxillary Air Valve.....

This is on the Throttle Body right at the butterfly valve... with an absense of water there.. the aux air closes.. and idles up.. this causes the wax to heat and it opens. and hence it opens and closes and on and on. I suggest try and bleed the air from the top of the throttle body at the wax temp sensor.

On another note, i was looking through the car last night and i noticed that when i turned on the headlights the idle started hunting more (i hope this makes sense).

Is there something that would cause this to happen (ie the alternator or battery)?

yeah its part of the idle up mechanism... when you put extra load on the engine... such as turning on the headlights (the alternator needs to work harder... ) the idle up solenoid kiks in.. that could e just enough to flip the Auxillery Air sesnor on the throttle body and open up causeing the idle to hunt.

NOTE... when you're bleeding the cooling system.. make sure your heater is allthea way to HOT to ensure you fill the heatercore with water too!

So the alternator could also be an issue?

No Not at all... i mean i cant be certain without actually seeing it... but everyones car "idles up" when the alternator takes on more load... its normal... all i am saying is that as your car idles up... the Auxillery air sensor takes on more load, and opens.. and that could be enough to trigger the hunting idle problem thats caused by the airlock in the wax pellet sensor in the throttle body

The guy at work that knows Toyota's inside and out has finally been in when I've had a chance to speak to him, but some bad news. Our computers got reformatted a few weeks ago and we've lost our Toyota catalogue.

Are you definitely sure it's the MAP sensor? Try removing it from the intake and just place it in the engine bay and see if your engine still has the same problem.

Nah dude I am not sure if it is the MAP sensor but when ever I unplug it the car seems to idle better. I have also noticed that the idles gets worse when i turn the headlights on.

So maybe the guy at work will have a better idea to what the problem could be.

Hey gucio,

did you get to the bottom of your idling issues.

I recently got a 91 Paseo as a 2nd car and evertime i get off the highway it seems do have the same issue as yours . The idle Hunts and it can be bit embarassing especially if the driver next to you is looking your way..

Cheers

Have you both checked for vacuum leaks? I've done some asking around and this has been the most common thought to your problems.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
