Got confused. My throttle body only has the TPS, which is what had 4 terminals. I can't seem to find the ISC valve on my throttle body. Based on pics, it's supposed to be just to the right of the TPS on the throttle body. My 1UZ w/o Trac control, only has the TPS, but no ISC? Is ISC on all SC400's?

If so, how do I do next steps of applying 12V to B1 & B2 & repeatedly ground S1-S2-S3-S4-S1 in sequence? If I have 12V on B1 & B2, I don't think I should be then grounding the same terminals S1 & S2. I must be missing something here. Can someone that's done this before clarify this for me. Thanks.
The six terminal isc or iac valve shown in earlier post is for first gen models.

Vibrant, hopefully some one reading this post will have a manual for your specific model. The iac shown earlier in this thread I believe only fits the V-8 engine on ls400 and sister models. I'm sorry I don't have a manual for your model Lexus.

Thank you to durps for linking me to this thread. I had changed the fuel filter, changed plug wires, and did the ECU delete mod and still had problems. He linked me here and poof it was the TPS's didnt get them dialed in but placing them near center was a huge improvement. Up next bushings

Always suspect the MAF/AFM and TPS for any issues you might be experiencing. Right now, my SC is idling at 1500 when cold, and that is the TPS.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to idle 1200- 1500 RPMs when cold then slowly decrease to around 700 +/- 50 RPM.

Ok, hereīs a video of mine. Today I cleaned the IACV, thatīs why it didnīt idle, but that loss at 2k I have no idea what it is. If I unplugged the MAF its still the same.
Story of my car. Is a SC400 with a 1UZ-FE engine with a turbo in it. The turbo broke and bleed all oil through the intake. I cleaned up the throttle body, check TPS and is working and resulted in a broken MAF. Car runs good but have this ~2k RPM problem which I canīt figure out what is causing it.

Thanks!! You provided 3 links and in only one seems to be a fix :/
My car idles fine, I have no problem idling, is when I slightly depress the accelerator that, around 2k, bounces.
Pay attention before suggesting links that you didnīt even read

I read them. It was merely for the suggestions and to say "YES! Others have this problem too!"
