My 2006 Toyota Camry i4 has a shudder with the following characteristics: 1. Vibrations start at around 50m/hr or 80km/hr. 2. Happens only on light throttle. 3. It goes away if I let off the throttle or press Down and it shifts to a lower gear. 4. Only happens after 5th gear when the rpm drops below 2000. My suspicion is a faulty torque converter for the following reasons: 1. If I turn off Over Drive, limiting the transmission to 4 gears it never vibrates. 2. I’ve dropped the pan, cleaned and actually flushed the transmission fluid with T-IV. And it made no difference; so I know it’s not a fluid issue. 3. My tires are new and balanced 4. Car runs smoothly at same speed it usually vibrates when I turn off OD. 5. My engine mounts and shafts are tight with no clucks when I engage drive or reverse. Please gurus am I on the right track? Your contributions will be greatly appreciated! If I am on the right track, how do I know a good replacement TC? |

Good evening my gurus in the house, I really appreciate the effort of everyone trying to assist or help on matters that relate to our cars. Also to deliver us from the evil hands of Kazeems!  Please, my issue is that anytime my car battery is disconnected and reconnected my RX300, 2001 model, will be idling very low and even dies off when I apply the brake. It often an embarrassing experience due to constant restarting of the car at the middle of the road or traffic. It normally stop this madness after like 45mins or so of driving nonstop. I don't think this is normal, what can I do to fast track this re learning of the ECU. Thanks in anticipation. Kudos to you guys. |

chrisatah94:* You surely can do an upgrade on tyre size for better ground clearance. I drive a civic as well so I understand first hand your concerns. Worst off when you live in an area plagued with bad roads. I upgraded mine to 205/60/r16 alloy rims. I opted for the aluminium alloy rims to reduce the weight as iron rims are quite heavy. 1 Like |

Good afternoon Guys I want to sell off my 2006 corolla to buy a foreign used Corolla 2011 S, what and what should I be mindful of during inspection as well as regular maintenance? Also, can I use 5w30 or 10w30 oil as against 0w20 or 5w20 seeing the current price of synthetic oils Any suggestions and advice is welcome |

Chae: I remembered last year when I was in a very tight fix I decided to run Bolt for sometime to raise some bucks. All the money I made went to fueling. I just stopped it. That car 2.4L variant gulps fuel and it’s not good for e hailing at all. Get a civic or a 2.0L Accord. |

lanre2009: P0301 cylinder one misfire Either bad Iginition coil Spark plug Dirty injector Or bad ecu aka brain box as you already have a brain box code. P0171 system too lean bank 1 This can be a bad 02sensore need to be check first P0218 coolant temperature below regulating No engine thermostat installed or the thermostat is stuck open. P0012 CMP First need to check if the engine timing is correct. The intake oil conteol valve (OCV actuator) might be bad if you timing is correct. P0607 ECM Ecm aka brain box might be bad and can be the reason for all this codes if it bad My suggestion get another ecm to test if all the codes will come back or not. |
