Long story short, got the car back to driving condition in a couple of days, had a high sticking idle only when letting off the gas and coming to a stop. Took the upper and lower intake off, replaced all manifold gaskets, replaced all of the vac lines. Still same problem. Replaced the IAC with a Dorman part as the factory part is near 500 $. Problem persisted. Car was parked for a year after that due to other projects. Fast forward to last week. Got lucky and found a throttle body with a factory IAC for 250$. Took a chance and purchased it. Got the parts, cleaned every thing up, installed on the car, p505 clear and has not come back. Car idles at 750-800 rpm and runs great.

Sadly, some cars like my 1985 Toyota Tercel wagon do not have the ability to purchase OEM parts on many occasions. It becomes a process of identifying what brands can be trusted.

Hi. A great video my friend. Spare parts chinese, korean and taiwan do not serve and malfunctions. Same problem in Venezuela.

I have had numerus problems with Dorman parts, however sometimes that is all that is availadle.

Thank you! I'm learning this the hard way, especially with the electronic parts... don't know what I was thinking putting cheapie Chinese parts in Japanese car. Probably why I'm still having my issues. No engine codes, so I'm forced to throw parts at it.

OEM is the only way to go! I found out the hard way some years back when I changed out my fan belt clutch in my 1988 Toyota 4×4 truck. 😒

I bought a diesel truck which had Dorman vane position sensor and a vane actuator kept getting codes for both. replace with OEM no more problems.

Is there a book or some type of recommendation for what the correct values that I should be looking for while reading live data on my Toyotas?

I would return the part, probably faulty out of the box anyway. With a higher grade scan tool there are some things that need to be taught again. I don't think with the year of the car this is one but sometimes these days you have to let the vehicle know you installed a new part.

It just depends on the part. Dorman is fine for things like window actuators. I'd have a hard time justifying a 4x higher price on that part. I would also have tried to restore the original part. That particular part I would have sent back for sure. It's not the kind of part where the user expects to have chase bolts holes to make it fit. I still would check the voltage levels being passed to the IAC valve to eliminate the ecu.

Oh crap!!!!! it is as if my computer saw me order the aftermarket part then the next day this video popped up while watching youtube. I didnt by the same brand but it is still aftermarket. $70 vs $250 is extreme. I thought I would try it and see if it changed or smoothed out the idle in my 2.4. If it does smooth her out I could bite the bullet and buy the oem now knowing this was the cause for my low rough idle. Now I am unsure of my plan. Here is my theory.....maybe....just maybe the 2001 ECU isnt as smart as that 2004 ecu that you were working on. I will report back after install. Thanks for the vids!

Toyota doesn't make the parts, they get them from Denso, NGK, etc. Same for their fluids, lubricants, and sealants. You just gotta be smart about the parts you buy, and from whom, and not have a 'Wal-Mart' mentality. Your buddy doesn't care, be just passes the cost onto the consumer. But, to some people, being able to buy the same part for half as much may mean the difference between making rent or not. Here's a non-Toyota example. '05 Acura TLX water pump, $218 from the dealer. Aisin part from Rock Auto, $68. Aisin part had "Acura" ground off of it as they're an OEM for Acura water pumps, and probably easier to make one part than to control for demand between aftermarket and dealer demand. An Aisin timing belt kit costs $250 for this vehicle with water pump, etc. Dealer kit is $650. The difficulty is having the knowledge and experience to know what aftermarket parts to trust. That $400 difference in the example above just happens to be the exact amount that 36% of Americans couldn't afford as an unexpected expense in 2020.

Not all aftermarket is bad but Dorman is just meh, sometimes if you're lucky, its just rebadged OE parts and sometimes they are the OE manufacturer. But in this case, it appears that there's 2 IAC part # listed for the Matrix, one for rear disc brakes and one for drum when you look at Standard Motor Products and WVE but Dorman only list that one part. That Doman IAC is also listed for the Corolla and that one also have different parts if it's JPP or US made, so maybe it's the wrong part? Seems like the Dorman part is for JPP/drum brakes, where is this Matrix built/trim?

I replaced the original IAC at maybe 150k because the rubber gasket around it started leaking coolant so I bought a new IAC and gasket (aftermarket)... And replaced it recently with another aftermarket IAC thinking maybe it's why I have a rough idle? Next one gave me same rough idle. So I thought ok it's not the IAC... Well I found my original one in a box of parts. I check the internal dual IAC coils. Resistance was good on both. I cleaned it really well lubed it, put new rubber gasket on it, installed it and now I have a perfect idle again after many years! Keep the original parts when ever you can!!!

MEH, One defective part doesn't mean the entire brand is bad. And it's almost impossible to tell a genuine Toyota part from a fake. I recently bought a "genuine" Toyota MAF sensor and while the box said made in Japan, the Toyota/Denso part (22204-22010) matched the OEM but without the made in Japan claim. Actually the new sensor had a large "C" font on it, so maybe it meant copy, but it worked. A genuine Denso oxygen sensor (#234-4624) had the part # on the box and on the sealed bag but had #42240 and 12F10 on the part itself, which I found odd. Anyway, it appears the only thing the 2000 Echo doesn't like are the cheap aftermarket fuel injectors because it says: system too rich bank 1, and the idle is high. I don't see any vacuum leaks so I'll clean the IAP next. I just finished correcting a bunch of EVAP codes (P0440, P0441, P0446) by changing the two lines that run from the engine back to the charcoal canister since they were totally clogged. Bought a new Dorman canister as well. I should add that this Echo has been sitting in the yard for 17 years since it went off a dock, crashed through a thin sheet of ice and landed on all 4 wheels in about a foot of water. I guess with 4 young teens, it wasn’t nose heavy. I took the interior out to dry and deep clean, changed the ECU, and changed all the fluids but the trans had a clog so I finally got around to replacing it. Then I had to clean out the fuel tank, replace the fuel pump, replace the frozen alternator, the noisy air compressor, the frozen cooling fan(s), and the frozen blower motor. Apparently everything rusted internally. I mean I took everything apart, cleaned and lubed everything but ultimately everything needed replacement. I’m amazed how smooth and quiet that engine is.

Preach

You have me worried thinking that ]the screws that need to be removed in order to clean the IAC were not removable because I've done this job on 4 different Toyota camrys without any problem as a preventive maintenance job 400 dollars is too much money if I can clean it myself.

How much does she want for it ? I need one

There is nothing wrong with aftermarket parts IF they come from the OEM manufacturer. Does Denso make this part. If so, they will cost more than Dorman but likely less than Toyota. If Toyota doesn't have it in stock and there are supply chain problem... What is a person to do?

I wonder if you did a short video showing him got to check the proper oil level since a cold engine can have the dipstick read half to ¾ a quart low since liquid can expand. According to Ahmed, master Toyo tech. Check after engine is fully warmed up. And engine has been turned off for one minute to settle down from the top end. According to him and engine is fully warmed up after 7½ miles of driving or 15 minutes. Personally I think when the coolant reaches 165-180°F or when the temp gauge reaches operating temp just over half mark it usually goes to is fully warmed up, but I'm not going to argue with a master tech's theory that he wants. Underfilled by that much is better (although not ideal) than overfilling by that much, having the crank foam the oil splash and now you have air in the oil and that's less lubrication, and potential to throw a rod if a piston seizes. People can search engine drive cycles for their particular Toy model because some have very particular conditions to set monitors like Evap and similar. Some states do not require smog/emissions testing, however of the states that do, some allow one or two monitors to be incomplete and allow pass for registration/transfer (sale). Some strict states require emissions compliant parts or no modification to the exhaust and some will allow more or less monitors to be tested if the car falls in a certain year. California requires an additional test (EVAP) for certain years like that Camry that pulled in for the oil level check.

Uh when you pour it out the bottle, the oil is at room temperature, why would you measure it when it's hot?

Who the hell gave you that advice???? Hydraulic fluid like ATF expands, but engine oil isn’t the same. Can there be some expansion… yes but barely. Engines should always be checked cold and after sitting on a level surface. Read any OEM manual and tell me I’m wrong! A transmission is a totally different story

@@daijoubu4529 measure it hot. No owners manual says measures MOTOR OIL cold. By then you overfilled a cold snack engine and the moving parts whipping air into the oil will cause lack of oil to surface contact destroying your engine.

Glad we got rid of Air Care in BC no more exhaust smog for cars !!

Sometimes you can get original used parts on eBay and it will work. Not a way for a business to work looking for scavenger parts.

If toyota parts is so better than aftermark why did it not last longer if its dubbel to tripple the price

There was a rat's nest piled over the throttle assembly, in a previous video, right on top of that idle control valve. As a result, the throttle assembly, and the valve, rusted, but would probably have lasted twice as long, or life of the car, if it wasn't for the rats infestation. And the reason behind OEM parts being expensive, compared to aftermarket, is obvious and understandable, the reason is quality materials and quality control, which aftermarket lacks, and in this case, didn't even fit out of the box. That's the reason why Toyota OEM parts are so much better and also why they are expensive compared to shiny stuff, junk out of the box

@@Charlie_Crown yes if you park a car and not driving it it will last longer wil rusted up and rats making nest so it is a matter of compaire spares to each other on the same level . If Toyota drop the overprized spares price and do not cater for duts in these spares only then I wil buy it . Aftermark part makers exist because there is a need for it otherwise they wont exist anymore . Competition in these business is a good thing.

If its the original part, it lasted 15+ years? Lol

Better off with a used OEM part if new ones are not available

I would have taken the original valve fully apart to clean it before trying a replacement knowing how after market parts can fail.
