Rough idle

Aug 14, 2006 4 Replies

My 97 camry 860000 miles. When i sit at a red light i feel a little vibration when my hand is on the steering wheel But when i drive the car runs smooth. When sitting still it idles at 500 rpm Any suggestions ?


My '91 is like that, I reckon it's normal... for a Camry. One of the many things I don't like about it.

That's probably the idle air control valve sticking. Do a search on IAC cleaning. It should idle at around 700, not 500.

That's probably not collected at the beach, can you elaborate what it is?
