Hey all Why does my idle move when im turning my steering wheel from side to side?????? The car idles normally but when i start to move the steering wheel the idle starts to move. what the hell is going on???

One last thing. My dog today has ruined my weekend. I woke up today and my dog has eaten the wires under the car at the rear for the 4WS. I have taken it to the auto electrician they have wired it all up again BUT......... the 4WS doesnt work. F%#$ dog im going to kill him. Any ideas what the hell it could be. The auto electrician has now unplugged the 4WS and he is going to have a better look at what happening with the computer that operates the 4WS. pisses me off though cause i now have the flashing light HICAS contstantly on now. annoying really.

It's normal...with the engine idling turning the steering wheel causes increased pressure in th PS fluid system and puts load on the pump. That load is transferred to the engine, which causes the idle to drop. R32's have an extra pressure sensor in the front PS lines that tells the ECU to bump up idles in situations like this (a bit like the air conditioner fast idle switch). R33's might be different, however.

most cars these days have the idle up solenoid which tells the computer to raise engine revs to compensate the extra load from the p/s when pressures increase(movement side to side) As for u hicas, get a lock bar. Try going to a mechanic with a scan tool and they might be able to delete the hicas light, or take the fuse out(if it has one) for the light :(

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
