Gen 1 Intermittent StartUp problem
My 1999 Solara is getting older now. In the past year, i have these intermittent problems during cold/warm start of the car. It is hard to reproduce the issue to my mechanic since it only happens a few times in a week. Of course it usually doesn't happen when i am in the shop. It happens to my friend's 1997 Camry V6 too.
The issue:
Sometimes, after starting the car, the car will drop below the normal idle and stalls. If i start the car again, it will stall again.
The temporay solution:
The only way to get out of this issue is to keep my foot on the gas pedal. After about 20 seconds or so, the car will idle normally and i can drive away. It worked everytime and i have not need to call a tow truck so far.
I need a permanent solution if anyone knows any. (Idler problem? dirty throttle head?)
