got a AE110 with a 5A-FE engine and it seems while i am in drive and i place the shifter in neutral the vehicle will cut off...even if i have it in reverse and i place it in drive it will cut off...other than that the vehicle seems to idle smoothly...i'm new to the toyota scene.....any advice ?

When you shift from one gear to neutral the car cuts off....hmmmmm.....does it stutter before cutting off?....How bout when you put it in park? The park idle and the neutral idle is supposed to be the same...I don't think its mechanical....get a dianostic done to the car....maybe some adjustments to the tps or the maf/map sensor maybe giving a false reading....not too sure though..

When you have problem like that, it is very difficult to give advice to you, without driving and having a first hand experience with exactly whats hapenning. Since you are new to toyota, take the car to a technician and let him or her check it for you. Don't go around asking for advice in a field that you are unfamiliar with. You can end up in much more problems and expense that you bargain for. It may be a simple adjustment or a complete service required, but let a technician check, analyse and correct it. Tuners have many qualify technician am I sure that will be willing to help you. Look at the history of post and you will find guys like Anil, QG,Hook and many others.

hmmm...more often, it's a corroded pin in the plug that finally gives way and breaks off in the socket
but not all 4A/5A switches interchangeable eh...depending on the vehicle it came from, the bolt holes may be reversed...I've had to repair a few of them because compatible ones weren't available...they holding out tho, so it's all good
Japan_fan or Anil_Sooknanan, post a pic of the switch u got to make sure y'all got the same thing

this is a pic I got on the intwewebz
the mounting bolts on some switches may be opposite even tho the plug is the same
what was the problem with yours? broken pin like I said?

cool....if this is the one that came off the car, once Anil can confirm the one he has is the same, then you're in business.

Japan_fan, can you take a pic of the pins? the one i got looks the same but the part number is different . mines is T25, 477, 84540 - 16050. your lable is in black. mines in pink btw once the jack and pins are the same it should work. mine got 9 pins - 5 thin ones on one side, 4 on the other side which the 2 inner ones are fat and the 2 outer thin
