I have a problem with a 2005 Yarris.

It runs great when the traffic is flowing or on a motorway but when you are in heavy start stop traffic it stalls and wont run right.

No fault codes are showing and the mechanic is baffled.

Help!!! Please

I would be looking at cleaning the throttle body and the Idle Air Control [IAC] valve.

Nest step would be cleaning the Mass Air Flow [MAF] sensor. Check/clean/replace the air filter. 

After that, I would be considering  changing the automatic transmission fluid [and maybe the transmission filter] particularly if it has not been done in the last 50,000 kms.

If the vehicle is also due for an oil and filter change, then also do this too.

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work

      Backlash clunk when slightly on and off accelerator

      Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hoping the brains trust here may be able to help, maybe even seen the issue before. I have a 2010 Hilux KUN26 193k on the clock. I have been searching for a possible cause of a clunk which has developed which sounds and feels like backlash. It seems to be coming from towards the front of the vehicle. While the vehicle is idling along in lets say first gear and if I was to ever so slightly touch the accelerator pedal I get a clunk sound like something is engaging and then let my foot off again it happens again but like its disengaging it can felt through the car. I have had it up on a hoist and checked all the engine and gearbox mounts which all seem fine. The tailshaft and uni joints all seem fine also. The clunk happens in all gears but once cruising in any gear you wouldnt think there was an issue. Originally I was leaning towards a clutch issue but only because I was noticing it while changing gears but with further investigation I have noticed it happens without touching the the clutch pedal and just on and off accelerator. I have a throttle controller on the vehicle and thought this may be the issue so I unplugged it and nothing changed. Im hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

      project 2007 camry grande

      The wreckers don't want to sell the centre caps , they only want to sell complete wheel sets. Toyota dealers can supply them new in a packet , but don't know if there is one in a packet or four.

      VSC light flashing when using DAC

      Hey Mate, Im no professional so dont quote me on this, but I think that's normal. They flash when you break traction and the DAC kicks in. If it's constantly flashing at you even when you're not breaking traction, you might have a problem. But it's the same thing with traction control on newer cars. It flashes at you when the traction control is activated and you are sliding or drifting, or whatever.

      Air conditioner not switching on when vehicle is started

      I'm having the exact same issue as Graham. Last time they told me it was the battery. Toyota still can't find the issue, going in for service in about 2 weeks. We'll see what they come up with this time.
