Hello

Has anyone had there muffler replaced from a toyota camry current shape, cause it was making noise inside the cabin?

Thank you

I have good news I taken my car in for its full service last week I must say since then my car starts great i have no problem with starting it . Toyota couldn't find anything wrong, the car was perfectly OK. I still use Shell V-power

to keep it running clean.

Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone know if I can get a Ipod connector installed genuine by Toyota or how can I connect my Ipod to my Grande.

Thank you.

BTW would Shell Vpower help this problem

Well if a bad batch of fuel was the case, putting in some good quality fuel (depending on how much existing fuel is in the tank first) can help fix it. It's not a simple yes or no whether it will fix the issue because the cause has not yet been determined.

Thanks for helping DJKOR I'll see how it goes.

Buy a bottle of injector cleaner and run that through with your next tank of fuel. Once that tank has been used, see if the situation improves. If so, it quite possibly was dirty injectors.

If that doesn't fix it, next time you cold start it, add a bit of throttle (just a little bit) and see if that starts easier. It's less likely to be this, but cleaning your throttle body won't do any harm.

Did the issue only occur recently... or has it been like this since you purchased it? If recently, then it is possible you had a bad batch of fuel. In that case, still put in a bottle of injector cleaner next time you fill up.

I don't know how to explain the problem. When I start it first time its like something clogging the motor to start smoothly.

After that its fine the car will start normally when I try the second time. I wonder if its the fuel. I purchase the car a month ago as a ex demo with 15,000kms. Maybe the user used ethanol fuel I'm not sure sorry.

Every morning when I start my car first go it sounds like its choking before it revs I'm not sure whats the problem.

Has any of you members have the same issue like mine?

Please reply

Thank you.

Something Similar happen to one of my mates 2008 model Sportivo. The dealer changed the spark plugs, that seems to have fix the issue.

If your car is parked on an angle driveway that can also cause it to choke.

Sometimes (but rarely) Battery can also be a factor.

Thank you for replying. Sorry but im not sure if it would be the spark plugs or parking on a angle.

It is your ABS self-test. This will apply to you as well:

Are you referring to the sound you get when you take off for the first time after starting your car, and it does not occur afterwards when you get your car rolling?

If so, this is to do with the ABS. Every time you start your engine and then drive off the ABS performs a self-check. The service manual best describes this:

When the vehicle speed first becomes approximately 4 mph (6 km/h) or more after the ignition switch is turned on (IG), each solenoid valve and motor of the brake actuator is sequentially activated to perform an electrical check. During the initial check, the operating sound of solenoid valve and motor can be heard from the engine compartment, but this is not a malfunction.

Thank you your information was very helpful

When I first drive my car out I hear this one knocking sound after my first gear changes and then I won't hear it again

has anyone had a similar issue.
