hey

i have a xv10 95 2.2L Front Wheel drive toyota camry, which seems to make a knock noise after i accelerate. This happens normally when i accelerate slowly and release the gas pedal.. The car has done about 100,000kms. I think i might know wat it might be...but im worried it might be more than that...

Thanks Guys

A good way to attack these problems is to start with the cheap fixes and work your way up, so filling your tank with 98 octane would be the first step to rule this out, setting you back an extra $15 or so for the full tank. But given its after you accelerate I doubt this is the problem. It could be an engine mount or transmission related... although knocking is usually associated with an engine related problem (albeit under load... such as acceleration... not after it)

Check to see if the engine moves much when idling, stuffed front engine mount sounds pretty safe bet at this stage.

Check all your engine mounts, suspension bushes and bolts are tight, also check your exhaust brackets as the bolts and brackets always break and come loose with your model Camry...

You'd be surprised at how much an engine can shake on startup and idle, especially if it's cold and not running smooth.

yep ur spot on abt the exhaust brackets...i got a loose one now makes an annoying vibrating sound when i go on higher revs.....SOOO ANNOYING...im gonna ask the mechanic to check the engine mounts i dont think suspension is a prob...btw i heard broken engine mounts can be a strain on the transmission....is that true? can it screw up my transmission if not will it screw up anythin??

Well... you got the 4 banger... it sounds like the front mount has had it... had a similar problem also... more of a clunk noise when it changed gears (car sorta moves a tad when it changes gears).

The dogbone style mount's gone too... don't bother replacing that until you ask a mechanic on which mounts have had it.

I ended up replacing all the mounts (there's a front, rear, transmission and the top dogbone mount) I bought em all through Supercheap and Autobarn (Supercheap charges freight, Autobarn doesn't, so see how ya go). I think I ended up spendin close to 600 to buy them all and get replaced by a mechanic.

You can get the part numbers of Thu (96Camry) at Camcrew if you need any further info anyway... that's where I got my info from :)

No worries mate... we're all here to help.

I reckon that if it's gonna be any of the mounts, it'll be the front, and the top... but if left for too long, the other mounts take a bit of a beating, and will end up needing replacement at the end anyway. From what I've heard, mounts normally need replacing after like, 10 years anyway.

Yeah that's fair enough... I replaced the whole set on my last 5SFE engine around a year ago... costed around 600 fitted?? Can't remember... bought some parts from Autobarn, some from Supercheap Auto (same company they buy from... lol) Autobarn doesn't charge freight, but might cost a few bucks more, and Supercheap are cheaper, but charge freight. However, Supercheap will only charge freight per order, so might pay to get the whole lot in the one go.

      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!!! :)
