As far as I'm aware there is no way to manually adjust the timing on a 2zz (or 1zz for that matter) so it can't be "out" so to speak as it is completely controlled by the ECU.

Just hope toyota can replicate the issue when you take it in there, they usually say they cant replicate it and there's no problem :/

dont worry they will be able to replicate it.

they only serviced it 2 weeks ago and the last week its got worse and worse every day.

plus when i start it first time of the day its fine but after i drive it thats when i have the problem.

i reckon its omthing to do with the ecu because like i said in other topic ive had loss of power when tank is under half. i think the ecu is got the oxegen mixture mixed up when its got less fuel and thats why its not kickin over properly.

but what would i know im just the driver not the mechanic. but ill let ya know after i take it back to em.

plus im bringin up the issue with the gears jamming in high revs too.

I have had that problem too. It takes a while for the engine to start. Like it's choking. I think it's coz the battery is small and doesn't provide enough power to start the engine. That was what I was told by a fren. Could be wrong though.

About the timing, I thought you can adjust the timing. From memory, someone here said that when the ECU was changed the timing should have been adjusted to 24 degrees. The stock ECU was 21 degrees. Doesn't that mean that the timing can be adjusted?

that timing change is internal to the ECU, a friend who is a mechanic at one of the dealers in Brisbane has confirmed there is no way to manually set the timing.

theres nothing 2 replicate on my car its been caused from

a dealer which will remain anonamus that had the head off, so my timing is out 1 tooth which is causing it 2 run rich and making it hard 2 start this dealer also failed 2 set the inlet valve clearences which are all also wrong

I think someone else had posted this sort of problem some time ago and it was to do with fuel lines being clogged up.

izzfe i think you are right. i had this problem (zze122 sedan) when the car was 3 months old.

i took it to lane toyota twice and they could not find the problem. they lied to me too. they said they replaced the key reader as they thought it was not accepting the key to turn off the immobiliser but when i asked them for the invoice they could never give it to me.

i then took it to nunwading toyota and they also could not find the problem.

i then went to brighton toyota and they were very helpful. i took the car to them twice and they found the problem.

it was the fuel line the pump and regulator was replaced.

Could it be spark plugs? Or maybe engine oil?

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
