    I have a toyota levin 96, 4A-GE 20 CAM, lately i have been driving and the engine check light comes on and engine starts stalling, if i am pressing gas it will keep running but stalls if my foot is off the gas. Any ideas what my prob is?

    The first thing you'll need to do is read the codes causing the light to come on. Here's how to do it. :)
    Open the diagnostics socket in the engine bay, connect the pins that are highlighted in the picture.

    turn on the ignition ( don't start it) and the light will flash. It'll flash a number of times and then there will be a short pause then start flashing again. e.g flash flash pause flash flash flash. This would mean code 23. There will then be a long pause ans it'll play the next code (or the same code if there is only one recorded)

    I have a list of what all the codes are at home (I'll post them later tonight) or just stick up the codes here or google them when you find them. This will tell you where to start looking for your problem :)

    I did that and got code #25 which is a lean air fuel ratio. Would this be related to the ICS valve?

    My service manual says that the code can be triggered by
    • open in injector circuit
    • Fuel line pressure (injector leak, blockage)
    • Ignition (sparkplug, igniter)
    • Vacuum sensor (air intake)
    • open or short in oxygen sensor circuit
    • Oxygen sensor
    • ECU

    That's word for word from the manual.
