Well...My '91 MR2 with the intermittent idle problem has been at the mechanic
shop for 5 days. He says the problem occurs within the throttle body when it
gets hot and replacing the throttle body will solve the problem. They priced
the part and quoted me $1,070.00 ~ YIKES!
They've got to be kidding. It's not that complicated a part. And a typical
failure mode is bushing wear for the throttle shaft. Bushings can be
renewed but you might have to look hard for a carburetor rebuilding shop
to do the deed.
Hope that used one does the trick.
