i am guessing if it is lift bolts that the lift wouldnt than be kicking in at all and if it was it wouldnt pull as hard as it should

but mine does pull real hard when it comes on

going by that logic, then it must be one of the sensors that are fouled. Just take it into a dealer so they can read the error codes. they should be able to tell you pretty easily which sensor is stuffed.

Could also be a dirty VVL oil filter.

what is VVL oil filter is that just normal oil filter or its another one

yeah thats what he told me,

that they did got a code relating to the vvtli, but they cleared it and it shouldnt come up again,

the car wasnt in the shop for no longer than 20 min, but the problem wasnt fixed at all,

so i went back as soon as realised that like on my way home and booked it in for monday,

and they said they will spend some time on it and see what needs replacing

i think they just wanna rip me off for few hundred dollars,

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.

      Cheap modifications for 2006 Corolla sedan

      Hey all! Am new to the world of Corollas (and Toyotas). Acquired a 2006 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport sedan in February 24. Manual, done approx 178000 klms now - and stock. Car is in fairly good condition. And really surprised at how well it does drive for an 18 year old car. Anyway, looking at getting some initial modifications done just to get back into working on cars, and also making the car more fun to drive. What are some things that you recommend? Pod Filter? Exhaust? Suspension? Any particular brand names? I did a quick search on ebay, and found Max Speeding Rods branded suspension - but couldnt find much else. Thanks all 🙂

      1gr tone wheel...

      G'day all, I had a head gasket replaced on my 1grfe 5 months ago. Since then I've been having power issues and 3 weeks ago it completely cut out. After a bit of mucking around, I was able to find a mechanic who told me the tone wheel had slipped back on the crankshaft, which has thrown the sensor... it's also bent the tone wheel and filled the crak angle sensor with metal shavings. The ute has just ticked over 300k, I'm wondering if I give up on it and buy a 1kd, or look into chasing up the idiots who put it back together after the head gasket.(they did a cv boot at the same time and held it in place with fencing wire and zip ties. Not the brightest bunch) Anything thoughts or sympathy appreciated.

      Can we use ULP 91 or E10 on Kluger Hybrid 2022

      Hi guys. I've got my Kluger Hyrid 2022 just few days ago. The fuel tank still nearly full but when checking the tank cap, I noticed it states "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL ONLY, No Diesel" and "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL RECOMMENDED, E10 FUEL SUITABLE". I called my dealer and he said I can use ULP 91 if I want, no issue. But I'd like to clarify: 1) When the car specifies "RECOMMENDED", does that means ULP 91 is acceptable, or I must strictly use 95 or 98. 2) Has anyone tried E10 in this type of car? If so, was it beneficial or not worth it. This is my first experience with a hyrbid car and I normally just use ULP 91 to save my money. Thanks
