Help with low idle from Venezuela
Hello everybody; i'm new here but a silent observer 4 months ago; i am from Venezuela and i purchased a new brand Yaris sedan (this is a new model here); mi car has only 1000 mile and since new i noted that the idle of this car is around only 750rpm but the real doubt is when i turn on the air conditioner, the idle down to 600rpm and the car isn't feel quiet at all; there is normal in this model of toyota that the idle down instead up when one turn on the a/c?, is idle at 750rpm normal in this car?, whats your cars idle? thanks in advance.

My Sedan would idle anywhere between 1200 and 1500 rpms and shake like slightly enough to notice it. I changed my oil at 7000 miles to Mobil 1 synthetic and now she idles at 750 to 950 rpm with no shake whatsoever. I can barely tell if the car is on... I know it doesnt have anything to do with the AC, because she doesnt idle differently while it is on, but also strange nonetheless..

Wow...are you serious
It idles high when you start it up because it is not warmed up. If you changed your oil to synthetic, it should be idling higher not lower due to reduced friction. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming back here. But yeah, after my yaris warms up, it idles really low. |

I went to the dealer and they checked the cpu during 15 mins. and the computer report was 750 rpm without a/c and 700 with a/c, then the MAF sensor was exchanged and same thing; finally the mechanic guy toll me that appanrently this car works at this idle rpm and everything is OK. I still in doubt about this

I see similar idling speeds, between about 650-800RPM when the car is warmed up and the AC running, I think it is normal, it helps maximize fuel efficiency when idling...
