| Description of the problem | Vehicle hard to stop with a/c or headlights on. Engine idles normally 5-600 rpm, until parking lights or a/c is turned on. Then it idles at 800 rpm in gear. Sometimes it feels like you've been rear ended, after coming to a stop. If driving surface is slippery and put into gear with head lights on, the rear tires will begin to spin, without touching the accelerator. This is a daily occurence that has been taken to different toyota dealers with no relief. All they can say is that the computer says everything is okay. Turning the parking lights on does not cause enough load on the engine to warrant the extra 200 or more rpm. The other day ( 01/26/2010 ) i was turning around in a muddy driveway and while idling i turned the steering wheel to the left. I let my foot off the brake and the truck went straight, even as i applied the brakes, leaving two big ruts through my friends yard. This was caused by the ground being slippery and the high idle speed. I am sure that this will cut down on the life of the brakes. 4. 7 v8 engine *cn |
