Hopefully someone can give me some suggestions. I have a 2005 TL on order....I should be gettin it within 6-8 weeks, maybe sooner. The car I've been driving is a '91 Celica ST 5spd. I took advantage of having no payments so I could save up and pay for the TL cash. Now you know why I'm posting on acurazine =)
My Celica has been great overall. However, for maybe 6 months now when I take it out of gear or step on the clutch, the RPMs drop too low and quite often to 0 causing the car to stall. I've gotten used to driving it like this. It's kind of a challenge, before making a stop, I just have to tap the gas to raise up the RPMs a little. If it does stall, it's no problem to start it right back up. It's just kind of annoying. It happens only when the car is warmed up. Also the car will idle roughly or too low sometimes.
Any ideas what this might be? I dropped some fuel injector cleaner into it, but no change.
I have no problem driving the car like this for the next 2 months until I get my TL, but I sure as hell won't be able to sell my Celica. I'm hesitant to bring it to a mechanic because I don't want to put much money into a car I'm getting rid of. I know if I can get this car running right I'll be able to get almost $2k for it which can get me a decent set of 19s & tires.
I appreciate any help/opinions. Thanks, Scott

 

Check all the hoses for a vacuum leak. Hopefully you'll get lucky and it's a cheap fix.
