I did the spark plugs, wires, coils, timing belt (not off or skipped tooth), water pump and cam/crank seals, PCV valve, and valve cover gasket.
The code of p0401 is not long showing up currently, along with p0402. I start the car no problem, but it’s running about 1,200 RPM's, I push the gas and the vibration gets worse and then the RPM will start to severely drop to 500 and stall out if continued pressed, or I let go and the engine will pick back up to “1,200 RPM's”
The compression I would assume is low due to this so the engine is trying to make up for it.
My battery is 6+ years old (could be newer but I’m going off the sticker on it) but reads a voltage 12.36 volts when the engine has been turned off for less than 1 hour.
I have not vacuum leak tested the engine yet but I don’t believe it’s the cause to my problem. Carbon and build up would be more likely possible, however mostly everything is original from 1997, or Toyota OEM replaced parts.
This is a battery issue or could I have further issues internally or a likely vacuum leak?
And would replacing the VSV module switch behind the block help in this case?
