Toyota Corolla 2003 Engine Noise by b2212(m): 5:09pm On May 31, 2013 |
I have a toyota corolla 2003 that makes an unusual noise when i start it in the morning. the car revs unusually loudly by itself for about 4 secs and the sound of the engine is as if it is grinding. after a while it stops and will not reoccur until i have parked for a longtime. the car runs well. what could be wrong? |

either the clutch or shift linkage needs to be adjusted. The worst case scenario involves internal damage to the transmission. |

THE PROBLEM IS THE OIL YOU ARE USING OR THE OIL USED ON THE ENGINE BEFORE YOU BOUGHT IT. THE OIL IS TOO THICK FOR THE OIL PUMP. WHEN IS COLD IT WILL TAKE LESS THAN 4 SECONDS TO CIRCULATE ROUND THE ENGINE, THEREFORE CAUSING MECHANICAL PARTS LIKE (Camshaft) TO WORK IRON TO IRON BEFORE OIL GET'S TO THAT PART THEN THE NOISE WILL STOP. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CAR MAY NOT PACK UP SOON, BUT THAT NOISE WILL INCREASE. THE BAD NEWS IS:IF YOU CHANGE TO LIGHTER OIL THE NOISE WILL NOT STOP BECAUSE OF TEAR AND WEAR IN THAT MECHANICAL PART'S. DID YOU REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT? IF YOU DID PUT IT BACK. THAT NOISE IS FROM THE ENGINE. LOOK FOR A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC TO FIX IT FOR YOU BEFORE THE PROBLEM GO WORSE. HOW OLD IS THIS CAR? 2 Likes |

Got it off a friend recently. Is it possible to change d camshaft alone? I hate d noise |

Using my imagination to picture ur situation. Major sounds that an engine produces comes from the movements of the camshaft, valves and associated parts in the head cylinder(aside combustion). Another is the joint between connecting rod and crankshaft. Any of the above will make huge noise before engine oil gets to it after draining down overnight. The latter takes few seconds to lubricate while the former can take longer. For the latter, at high rpms the engine will still make noise. If i were to pick, i would say the problem lies in the crankshaft/connecting rod joint. I can remember long back when mechanics worked on my dads crank shaft, they changed somethings on the connecting rod. Cant quite remember its name but i think its called bushings. If worned out, it leaves a gap that makes the noise. It may also reduce engine compression. 1 Like |

I also have a camshaft issue, with error code P0013. Mechanic said i have to ring engine, a 2009 corolla.Any advice and likely cost of repair/replace? |
