If you're not in a hurry.. Warm your engine for a few minutes till temp reaches halfway. If you wanna jet.. Then drive off immediately.

Please my Corolla 2003 is showing p2716 code and I will like to know the possible fix.

Good day to you guys, pls I need an expert advice on my 2004 Toyota corolla. Suddenly the fuel consumption increase dramatically and it rough idle when ever I match the brake or pack the car with the AC and Gear engaged. I have changed the Nozzles and spark plugs, problem still remain. This evening I try something different by unplugging the idle control valve sensor and car run smoothly. Could it be that the idle control valve is bad? Thanks in anticipation of ur response.

very strange sir
