I have noticed a problem in lift that has happened twice so far now this week, When in lift some times it dosent come on normally :blink:

I think that the car gets to about 6500RPM then remembers it should be in lift and kicks in then, It only happens in second gear....

Anyone had this happen, or know the possible cause??

Both times it has happened i havent been paying as much attention as i should, so if this dosent make sense I will see if it happens again and see exactly what goes on...

Cheers in advance

lift doesnt always engage at 6100 , sometimes kicks in a bit later

The ECU controls the lift engagement point based on parameters such as coolant temp and engine load. check your oil and coolant levels aswell.

I just had all my fluids flushed and replaced on monday, Its kind of loosing traction feeling then it drops back down and hits lift....... I might just ease off it for a while and see how she goes :)

Cheers lads

Sorry to revive this post thread, But downlow in say third gear when im coming out of a round about and my revs are low and i put my foot down, at 4k RPM (Is this when the higher rev cam comes on??) I get this really low bass note, So im thinking that maybe I have a dint or something in my exhaust that is causing back pressure and when i hit lift sometimes the exhaust is having troubles getting out which impeeds on the engine and makes it struggle in lift.....

Can any of you confirm this theory of mine as plausable??? im still a n00b when it comes to this sort of thing :blush:

Because if so I might make my mate get under it and have a looksie...

Thanks heaps in advance :yahoo:

High lift cams come on after 6k rpm not 4k. If you still have your stock airbox, check that your VSV is connected and that all the vacuum hoses coming to and from are connected and not brocken. The VSV is the "sensor" looking thing mounted to the front of the air box. If I'm not mistaken, it controls the flap at the underside of the stock airbox to allow extra air in under lift. if it doesn't open, your engine could be "choking" during lift.

You take a round about in 3rd? wat speed are you doing?

Your either going too fast for a roundabout or your going too slow for 3rd gear (hence the low note of the exhaust)

yeh, like, its when im not strapping the car and i rev it out it gets the noise at 4k RPM and the car feels like its lacking power & gets this struggle in lift.....

I check the air filter hoses with me mate and there fine, but i will get the CAI kid to see if this solves the problem, good excuse anyway :P

Maybe i should find a mechanic who knows 2ZZ motors, cause this problem is annoying

Lift kick in at 6200rpm for our cars and rev limiter is 8200rpm. Just curious I saw in your modlist that you have a Apexi SAFC have you got this tuned and any gains???

if you kick in this lift crap @ 5000rpms lets just say ur lag will be even longer ...... as at 5K rpms ur low cam wouldnt be fully utilised and ur high cam will be so under utalised it will probably feel worse than turbo lag ..... and at 9500rpms me thinks that one of the rods in ur engine is going to have a word 2 u about that in the not so distant future :blink: :blink: :blink: unless ofcourse a valve decides them talking 2 u first is more important .......

Yeah. One of the members here learnt first hand that even 500rpm over the rev limit can throw a rod. engine strain increases exponentially so even at 9,000 rpm, your engine is tons more stressed than at 8,200rpm.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
