[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 21968, member: 9438"] The manager at my taco place I go to on Tuesday and Thursday, told me her mother's 03 Camry SE 3.0 would not idle right and would die in gear at idle intermittently. I went to check for CEL and there was none but I could duplicate her concerns. I opened the hood and saw the problem immediately. A brand new battery just installed about a week ago. She hardly ever drives the car. I changed the scanner to live data and the short trims were way negative and showed no readings at all on long trims. I knew it was gonna need a reset on the ECU. I got the engine completely warmed up, set the park brake and put my foot on the brake and put it in drive and sat there for about 6 minutes. At first the rpm's were below 400 and acted like wanted to die and tach needle was floating a little. Then it started to climb and settled at close to 700 rpm. After 6 minutes I took it on a 40 mile round trip. The fuel trims went to spot on and the rpm's were between 680 and 700, stopped in gear at lights. I parked it and handed the keys to the mom. I will be getting free tacos for several days now. [/QUOTE]
