problem #1

May 122006

Tundra 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Thursday 5/11/06 idle upon start up goes to 2000 RPM, and stays there for approximately 1-1 1/2 minutes, before slowing dropping down to around 1500 RPM. It seemed to really be straining against the brake, when I put it into drive, again, not the feel it had when it was brand new. Friday 5/12/06 it not only had the high idle, but while driving at highway speeds seemed to have a random surge while driving. Couldn't detect a pattern to it, whether on incline, decline, or flat roadway. Upon arriving at work, I placed the transmission into park, and idle was approximately 750 RPM (by dash tach) when suddenly it raced up to 1500 RPM, stay there for about 30 - 45 seconds, then returned to 750 RPM. This surge situation certainly presents a possible safety problem, if the surge was to override the brake pressure and lurch forward at stop, or in bumper to bumper traffic.
