Just like to say i am quite disappointed with the responses to my questions, looks like you guys would rather talk about so called go faster rubbish , than help out with REAL technical issues. Ask your dealer is the response. Very Poor Show.

Over and Out.

Sorry you feel that way mate, but you need to remember that 90% of people on here are Corolla drivers. We help out where we can, but if we dont know the answer we cant exactly do anything about it. Its always safer to ask a mechanic or dealer than trust the voice of online people anyway i reckon

Micky Tee is exactly right...

Would you rather some random person telling you what to do or would you rather talking to a mechanic or someone with the same qualifications that knows what they're talking about???

Hhmmm Toyotas tend to be pretty reliable and all our models are quite recent so we haven't really had any opportunity to get "technical" on maintenance issues. Thus, my money/time spent on the car is in pursuit of enjoyment, including in-car entertainment and said "go faster rubbish" (for rubbish it certainly performs well in hillclimb events and such). Admittedly there is a fair amount of "rice" around here and we do favour Corollas heavilly on this forum - each to his own.

Take a look at the dyno figures if members' "so called go faster rubbish" is indeed rubbish. Look at Xoom, Sleeper, grimlock, dugong etc who have gone the forced-induction route and increased power by 50%. Look at people like MR22ZZ who hits the track every weekend, has modified a Corolla to such an extent that it has run 14.3 second quarter miles and is now embarking on an engine transplant in an old platform. Look at the 1ZZ-engined pioneers who have taken their cars to a level beyond a standard 2ZZ-Sportivo at the drag strip. Look at all the techo's like Rollamods, BigBum and Rollaboy, you can get no better advice than from them, just not about your particular model Camry mate. I'm sure there are Camry experts out there, they just aren't here, and that's not our fault.

Well that's right, that's why Toyota are there. To help out with problems. I ring them and get quotes on certain things, they usually always give you good answer to any concerns or questions. I'd say this site is hardly much for technical questions. It's more to brag and discuss.

Sorry if you are upset by my gripe but i happen to be a Tech myself. I was only hoping someone could point me to where a certain part is located or if there is such a thing. Already diagnosed guys just s pointer is what i needed. This isnt a technical site it seems just a brag site, but thats ok but you advertise as a" help with all your toyota needs" not sure about that. Anyway have fun, didnt mean to upset anyone , just frustrated thats all.

Cheers

Dude, there's no use having a cry if no one can help you. Your rant just made you sound like a spoilt brat who throws a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants. We don't know everything in this forum and there's no where on this site that states otherwhise. If i had the particular part you're after sitting my garage, i'm sure i would have responded. (where's ignition X when you need him hehehe).

I have gotten alot out of this forum in terms of technical info and I have also made a few friends; so when you start bagging out this forum you will inevitably upset a few people - go figure right?!

I think you'll find most of the peoples here are more then willing to help if they know how to help?

Otherwise, do a bit of research for your self and try and fix the problem. (like you've done)

I know your frustration.

I have a brand new car (not a toyota) that they can't fix.

Even when I present logical reasoning as to why and how to fix it (and they agree with me) it still doesn't get done.

I paid a premuim for a new car with a warranty that's useless.

I personally won't buy a new car ever again.

as mentioned the majority of the site's population is by ZZ rollas... for more direct and specific camry help i'd suggest either looking it up yourself (using the camry manuals) or posting in a camry specific forum such as www.camcrew.com.au... (australian based camry forum)... but if you do have a problem and post it up here sooner or later someone with a little knowledge would spot the thread and try to help a brotha out...

Think you misread my post.

It is NOT a toyota I am having problems with.

Current (NOT toyota) car has been to THREE dealers.

None of them care or have the inteligence to think laterally.

As for never buying a new car again.

I just can't face the though of being 'scammed' in regards to warranties again.

I'm already on anti-depresants thanks to this ****box.

I won't elaborate further on my 'options' with this case.

At least with a second hand car I know if I have to fix something it's my problem.

That I can handle just fine.

I have the knowledge and enough tools to strip/rebuild the avg car.

What the hell is your new car? If it's a Kia Daewoo or Hyundai then I'm not surprised. Note that they are cars to avoid!

Nope, if it was a cheaper car I wouldn't have a problem.

All I'll say right now is they are known for engine mount failures.........

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
