Hi all,

I've had my Runx for just about 3 months and I can remember atleast 3 times when the "lift" did'nt engage in 1st gear. The rev limiter just kicked in at 5900 rpm, then 2nd gear worked fine. Whenever it happened, I pull over and try again and it never repeats itself. Another problem is that on about 3 occasions my car engine raced during shifting from 2nd to 3rd as if I did'nt realease the gas. Its an awesome but wierd feeling. I get thrown back in my seat and the tyres chirp. The problem is that whenever it happens, I have no control over it, so if I'm behind someone I may crash. Thankfully it only happened on the clear open road. Anybody else experiencing this? :huh:

You might have a throttle sticking issue, better get it checked because it is really dangerous especially when you need to brake negotiating corners.

A different issue but something i hate Toyota for, my family has a 98' Camry and it had a very wierd engine problem which has since disappeared. When your foot is off or on throttle eg on highway or braking, the engine will all of a sudden rev up and down by itself for between 5 seconds to 15 seconds and the automatic transmission will be in neutral. Its like the car is possessed :blink: ! When i try to accelerate i can't and have to wait for the "demon" inside the camry to leave before i can carry on driving. Brought the car to Toyota numerous times and cannot find the fault, but it has 150,000kms now and it has been a awhile since something wierd happened from what i hear or maybe my family has just gotten used to it. I have also brought the car somewhere else for service. I suspect an apprentice mechanic stuffed someting up when servicing the camry.

Thanks for the advice, the problem is that we dont have mechanics here experienced with the 2ZZ_GE engine and drivetrain. I've asked around and no one has a clue. I dont want my car to be the lab rat. :unsure:

My car is silver :lol: and i have the same issue with the gearbox and the reluctant shift action from 1st > 2nd. Under 6000rpm it's fine, anything over that it wont go in without decreasing revolutions and sometimes double clutching. Silva you have an excellent point about going to a gearbox specialist to get a diagnosis of what is happening. Lets take this all the way guys to Toyota. I read somewhere that Toyota's cash reserves are 3 trillion dollars, go figure.

hi hicam,

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your problems as we are all having our niggly issues and trying to get them resolved by Toyota.

On a funnier note. You just ruined the reputation of Silver Sportivo's by having an issue with your. So :P :P :P :P :P :P :P to all you silver boys :P :P :lol::lol:

Cheers

Bill

Hi all,

From what i hear the engine on the Corolla Sportivo is exactly the same as the Celica.

Has anyone in this forum who owns a Celica had any problems like this?

Seems pretty strange Corolla's seem to have this problem and yet Celica's have not reported any similar problem from what i have seen.

Maybe just maybe it could be an issue with the car's computer on the corolla's as they are re-mapped for the Stivo.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the welcome Xoom. Sorry i'm being honest about the colour...Look i don't want to complain anymore but i think we all have a very valid fault that needs retification. I really feel for all the owners that have this prob. It's highly embarassing when dragging someone off the lights and the dam thing wont go into gear :lol:

Anyway i love my sportivo and we were once nearly departed but we have since reunited..aaahh :wub:

I was reading an article in a motor magazine about the Lotus that uses the 2ZZ-GE and 6speed. The lotus uses all things except they redesigned the shift mechanism. they didn't say why it's obvious to us guys. :huh:

Could be a synchro issue. I think the 6 speed has been underdeveloped and the double synchros are sh*t. The Type-R has tripple synchros and the S2000 has carbon mix synchros i think. But even these cars have some shifting issues. S2000's have gear crunching issues too but their shifters are so sweet.

I think they might have also altered the ratios and had to make the shifter itself longer for better reach. Someone also did mention they have higher rev cut in 1st 8600rpm and 2nd than our cars making it so easy to land LIFT.

From the latest poll it looks like there are more than a few of us here with gearbox issues. What issues though? The poll is too general. Some of us have gear crunching but no gear shifter "sticking" at high revs. I have both :(

      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.

      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.
