bechdan 0 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Aside from buying some £200 mod box is there any way to increase the idle speed on a 2016 yaris petrol engine? I find the revs drop too quick between gear shifts and I stall it like no other car i've driven when manoeuvring. The MAF and sensor is clean and its serviced regularly by Toyota. Any thoughts welcomed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People seem to complain about revs 'hanging' on modern petrol engines (due to emission control, I believe), not dropping too quick. It shouldn't be a problem when changing gear on the move, as the car will effectively 'bump start' itself if the engine stops. Which engine do you have (1.0 or 1.3) and how long have you had the car?

lani100 14 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Modern tech, small engine = give it more revs when pulling off from stand still Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bechdan 0 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 1.3 petrol, wife has had the car since it was 3yo/22k miles now on 80k miles. I drive it occasionally, my usual car is a 1.5 dCi diesel. Ive been driving 22 years and had a variety of petrols and diesels in that time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flash22 658 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Feather a bit more throttle, petrols don't have the low down torque of diesels and the 1.5dci has plenty also the high pressure turbo helps (circa 16 psi) The 1.3 likes to rev it makes its power higher up the rev range and sings when in/on the VVTi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bechdan 0 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 thats what ive been doing just seems a shame theres no way of upping the revs a little, used to be easy with cable throttle oh well, thanks for the input everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
