ATXBreeze Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 My 1989 Micro Spirit drives like the wind on the roads and highways, anytime I'm accelerating and maintaining a constant speed. But while at stop lights, in just a few moments, it begins to idle roughly (The engine begins to "miss".) And another thing - the rough idle only occurs while I have my foot on the brake. If I put the RV in park, the rough idle does not occur, engine just hums. Checked all the obvious causes, pulled all the plugs, all look great. Wires are all fine, indeed, RV was tuned up less than a year ago. No leaking vacuum hoses. On my second Techron /full tank treatment. Engine specs: Toyota Truck 3.0L 3VZ-E, 6 cylinders. Any ideas before I let a mechanic have a go at it (and at my pocket book)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXBreeze Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 OK, I'll try your test on the Brake Booster first. Then I'll try the other tests suggested on the following YouTube video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
