engine idle fluctuates Sign In

To whom it may concern,

Year of vehicle : 1990
Make of Vehicle : Toyota
Model of vehicle : Pick-up (manual transmission)
Engine size : 4 cylinder (does not know the size of the engine)
Mileage : 163812 miles

Problem : Once the engine is warm and you step on the brakes, the engine's idle fluctuates, but if you release the brakes the idle becomes normal again. When doing the check-up, I noticed that the fluctuation is gone every time I clipped (with pliers) the hose coming from pcv valve ( even if someone still step on the brake ). Pcv valve was replaced just last six months ago. This problem does not occur if the engine is still not warm.

Thanks, Romy_bakal

Sounds like you have a major vacuum leak somewhere that you need to find.

Hear any hissing noises inside the cab where the booster rod comes through the firewall when you press on the brake pedal?
