Sorry if its not Honda related but I thought it was generic and going to ask anyway &
YES I HAVE SEARCHED THIS UP and found this
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123702&highlight=idle+problem
But nothing seem to have really outlined my problem.
Thanks:
My daily is an '01 Model Toyota Camry :thumbsup:
The thing is today I took it out to the shops and noticed clock time was wrong (it was on 12:00)
when I left the house at a little past 1:00pm.
*NOTE: This is not the first time it has happened and always started regardless if the clock is out etc.
All was well, til I got home parked it for a bit, then I realised it was getting hot so I wanted to park it in the garage!
Tried starting the car but it wouldnt start, so I thought hey maybe its just the battery but
it has always started fine if I just leave it alone for awhile.
So I came back an hour later the car is scorching, and I started it,
this time it started fine but I noticed that the car idle'd a little more quiet than usual
so I popped the bonnet and listened to the engine it sounded like it was flactuating.
I looked on the cluster/revmeter the car was flactuating between 800-1000rpm,
and sounded like it was going to pass out,
so I turned it off and ran here to ask you smart people what is happening to my daily driver?
Is it 1. The battery? (I've been meaning to replace it for awhile, as the car seem to reset itself every 2-3 days, radio station, clock etc)
is it 2. Overheating? as today is scorching and my daily is usually in the sun copping it in.
Maybe its none of the above, please share your inputs.
