Fat_KE70 Regular Location: Shepparton Registered: October 2002	Re: SX sudden engine idle problem Tue, 19 November 2002 11:14 have you checked the codes yet....that fuelly smell could be a dud oxy sensor richening up the mixtures too much....if the voltage coming from it stays at a certain voltage for too long it will set a code. normally it is just the sensor giving up the ghost but very occasionally it can be caused by a vac leak or dud fuel pressure,maybe even the thermo time switch(makes the car run rich at cold start, found on one of the water outlets from the block) from what you say about the smell it is running hell rich. or did you just change the fuel filter and not tension it correctly or use the old copper washers around the banjo fittings? check injectors for leakage too. do a fuel pressure test. see if you lose pressure excessively when you turn the engine off. if it drops at all it should only drop 1 or 2 psi. BUT my first suggestion is to test the codes and go to your toyota dealer and ask them nicely if you can copy the diagnostic table/process for that code that is set.(the reason the light came on) sorry if ive crapped on a bit but it is just a case of elimination.
