99 toyota 4-runner low idle, and hard start in cooler weather

My toyota 4-runner ('99, 3.4, V6) is hard to start in warmer weather, without pressing the gas. It also has a low idle and wants to stall when stopped (in gear) and/or when turning on the AC. Had a tune-up but still have the problem. It seemed to be intermittent at first, but realized it is worse in warmer weather. The rpm gauge reads about half way between 0 and 1, when idling in drive, and goes up a little when in park.

99 4 runner v6 The engine pulsates at idle and during acceleration ,It goes up and down about 100 RPM and you can feel it under acceleration. what could be the cause?

If this a petrol engine, you have an air leak some where on the intake manifold. Test with soapy water and a paint brush whilst engine is running at idle. check all connections to the manifold and when soapy water gets sucked away, you have identified your leak. Start with the air cleaner and work along system back to the manifold.

2001 Toyota 4runner idle rpm is too low

Hi Seanmcm21,
More than likely the low idle you are experiencing is caused by a dirty IAC valve located right under the throttle body itself. It needs to be cleaned out with carb cleaner. Remove the electrical connector, the two vacuum hoses, and two screws. To put it back, use a little sealant to seal it before screwing it back together but do not get the sealant inside the IAC valve. If this 4 Runner is a V6, you may need to replace the spark plugs if old. Make sure to purchase twin electrode NGK or Denso spark plugs and gap them to .043 with a gapper.

Sounds like you have a computer or sensor issue with the tranny. Get it to a reputable shop to have them diagnose the problem. Won't know what is going on without a computer hooked to it.
