Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Clean the Throttle Body
  • Remove the throttle body from the intake manifold by unbolting it (typically 4-6 bolts).
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft brush to clean the inside of the throttle body.
  • Reinstall the throttle body, ensuring to torque bolts to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 7-10 ft-lbs).
3. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid (if needed)
  • If fluid is low or dirty, drain the transmission fluid using a fluid pump.
  • Replace with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid (typically Toyota ATF WS).
  • Refill the transmission fluid to the proper level as per the owner's manual.
4. Check for Vacuum Leaks
  • Visually inspect all vacuum hoses connected to the intake manifold for cracks or disconnections.
  • Use a smoke machine to detect leaks or spray carb cleaner around suspected areas to listen for idle changes.
  • Replace any damaged hoses.
5. Test and Clean the Mass Airflow Sensor
  • Disconnect the MAF sensor connector and remove it from the intake.
  • Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner, avoiding touching the sensor elements.
  • Reinstall the MAF sensor and reconnect the connector.
