random dying problem continues....

2JZEFINI-17 · 11-07-2006, 12:25 AM

After the car warms up, and I have driven it at a high speed for a short while I put it in neutral and the cars idle just drops and dies. WHAT COULD THIS BE??!!
I thought it was my ground from the coil pack since it looked pretty dirty and oily. I figured that when the car warms up that the oil expands by the ground and causes the coils to quit working. I however cannot proof this since I cleaned the ground wire pretty good and tightened it down. I am so stumped on what this could be. My compression numbers came out 130,135,130,130,135,135. According to toyota 128 is the minimum allowd so I guess the compression has nothing to do with the random dying. Plus the car runs pretty good. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

have you pulled the codes?

it sounds like a air flow meter. that is what mine did.

Check fuel injector flow. Have you checked the spark plugs yet? It sounds like a fuel problem.
