rough low idle tried everything......
So yesterday noticed a rough idle and a low one so clublexus here i come.
Search find out to clean iacv by spraying throttle body cleaner into little hole. i do this.
Then clean maf. i do this
then i read about a pcv valve so i buy a new one
So i am pulling old pcv valve and managed to somehow snap off the connector to the coolant temp. sensor. great.
So i get go buy a new one 25 dollars. go home take rest of old on out burnt my fingers a little eh ok. i put new on in. now i am confused on how tight so i google find 14 ft pounds so i do that
start the car up let it run all is well then i drive come back park and check see antifreeze leaking so i thought just what i spilled before.
Nope so i figure i have to put thread sealer on go to take sensor out and snap it breaks. go replace put it in finger tight to stop leak get home where tools are go to tighten didnt even get socket on and this ones snapped wtf.
Go to replace they have no more get a refund go elswhere got on had a mechanic put it in solved
so im driving home check eng comes on back to azone p1135 i just teplaced b1s1 last month so i hop under car damn thing unplugged itself nice..
Now back to rough idle so i linked it to all these issues i ckeaned maf iacv and new pcv and now cts. plugged af sensor back in still low rough idle...

The idle look's fine, it's isn't too low. Give the ECU some time to adjust after you cleaned everything. Did you reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery?
The engine temperature look's fine as well, but it shouldn't go any higher that where it is now. In fact, after changing out my coolant two weeks ago, my temperature gauge stays a bit lower than where yours is.

That is exactly where mine idles the temp is fine too. Mine will idle then bog a bit and then idle comes back up learned to live with it. The only thing I've done that helped it is adjust the throttle cable as described in the DIY Section this helped a little as it will slightly raise the idle speed.
