Good deal :)
Costly?

Exactly. They used to do it with mechanical dashpots on a carburetor. Now it's the ECU slowly closing the throttle.

Yaris Hilton,

"Half a Bubble Off Plumb" - Makes me giggle.. I will remember that one for future use, if you don't mind. Cold in TN yet?

anyone considered DFCO..... the engine brake doesn't really kick in.....

[ddongbap]

DEFO could make more engine brake if anything.

i agree with the OP, it does stay at rpm's alot longer then most cars. i find not only using engine break this is a fail but also mostly shifting from 1st to 2nd(in racing or extreme conditions) the car when i push down the clutch would rev up high and the shift was rough. (it wasn't due to my error, amybe once or twice it was but i tried testing it and if my foot isn't off the gas long before i depress the clutch its gonan be a problem, lol) the computer does have a slight delay (same delay as pressing it if u even notice it) but for the most part it reacts quickly. i believe the problem is in the added weight it carries and is spinning. i hope to get my pully kit soon, lol. but i'm keeping my a/c, fuck that, lol too hot in the summer

as for your problem, my moms 2001 Camry had/has the same issue.

i will describe my problem and u follow if it fits or not

it does it sometimes, not always. (the Camry is auto) when u stop at a light or put it in N (depressing the clutch same thing) the motor will die. to turn it back on after it dies you need to give it gas and keep reving it till u drive a bit and it seems to fix its self. if the motor was hot, u turned it off and now its warm is does the same thing and u need to give gas? (this last one i jsut started to realize) when u are due for an oil change it does it more and more.

on the camry this has yet to be fixed, only really seems to die on me. my mom says she has had trouble starting it before but never died. and not gonna lie, on an 01 with over 3xx,xxxKm its not really worth it. this is my thoughts to what it is, i know most of my stuff but not sure exactly. but it could be:
dirty fuel filter (do u know i cant find the darn thing, its not where toyota said they put it)
engine sludge (i'm looking for a good way to flush it out, i know its in there....)
or bad rings/walls (i know worst case but its got over 350xxxKM on it, its old and the V6 is a bitch to work on, it took me 4 hours to change the last 3 spark plugs)

i feel i can say (i dont have the pullys but i have only read good things about them) that maybe u notce it now cuz there is less weight per revolution to keep the motor going but i doubt the issue is due to the pullys.



#2 (shut up, i'm an idiot i know) this did hapen to me while driving/working on an 1981 Jetta (grandfathers car) it was having idle issues that would run between 500rpm and 3000rpm randomly. so i decided to try an italian tune up job..... if u dont know what that is, google it and never ever try it. lol. basically u redline the car into every gear..... well redline an 81 VW engine in 3rd.....ure gonna hear a pop.... and that was it, the second my foot was on the clutch the car would die and i'd have to jump it using the next gear, and at stops i'd have to be in the gas and hold the idle. it would never ever idle no matter what unless i was giving it gas. turnes out the pop i heard was the idle screw that i blew out of the intake..... free fix at the local VW shop cuz they were so amazed to see an 81 jetta in that good of shape (only got 105xxxKm on it.)


u never know what it could be... lol

hmmm.. I'm wondering if a throttle controller (Blitz, Pilot, etc) at an aggressive setting would solve your problem.
