  1. An update to my car problems I looked at the leaking tube just behind the efi unit and put some electrical tape around the slit (leak),the tube is now better sealed and the performance of the car is almost back to normal! yay..but I know there are other issues with the car but atleast I can now take off quicker and car is jerking less now.ahh the magic of electrical tape lol
  2. Hi all, Having problems with my 1997/1998 Toyota Camry,its an sxv20 4cyl auto 5sfe engine Car has been jerking and takes off slowly during take off.Some small backfires when slowly taking off.I noticed if i hold one of the tubes/slim hoses behind the efi unit,the whistling sound goes away.Efi area making whistling and funny noise.I have put efi cleaner in fuel tank and has helped performance a little bit.Transmission oil is black,not sure if transmission is causing slow take off,but transmission needs servicing.Im guessing the problem is something to do with efi/electrical problem,a failed sensor/switch? bad contacts in wiring somewhere? Also I have to top up radiator with water once a week.I changed oil,oil filter and spark plugs about 6 months ago.A mechanic told me 6 months ago that engine is no good,needs new radiator,water pump,head gasket etc,but car has been running pretty good until recently.I dont think theres a blockage in the cooling system,since I refill radiator with water and/or collant once a week.The car is about 17 years old now (getting old) and i'm hoping some basic tests/maintenance will get the car running smoothly again. Would it be worthwhile taking the car to Super Cheap Auto and let them do their $28 diagnostic test? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.I know a little bit about cars,but dont know how diagnose a problem like this Cheers Nero brisbane-workshop (at) hotmail (dot) com
