Hey Dude, Thanks heaps for all the advice I appreciate it. First of all I know the 10 series doesn't have a lot of grunt which doesn't bother me cos that's not what the car is for. BTW no offence taken. I had thought already about cleaning the intake butterfly but if you spray carby cleaner in there will that be alright if its sucked into the engine and ignited? And I am going to check the battery voltage because my central locking has been stuffed for a while so I am thinking that perhaps it is using more battery power than usual therefore it has lost charge before a cold start and is fine with a warm start cos the alternator has had time to recharge what's been lost. Thanks again fort all the advice. if you think of anything else drop us a msg. Lataz

Nah I haven't tried a transmission flush. I read somehere else on here that it is good. How do you go about it? LIke what product do you use, how much does the product cost and what is the process? And it's done about 155,000kms. Thanks ahh you car is still a baby :P hehehe....... Transmission Flush, you have to take it to Toyota. What they do is, they drain the old oil then fill it up with new oil (I think they also use a high pressure system to clean the inside), then drive it around for 5-10mins. After that they drain the oil once again, fill it up with new oil and done. This takes up to 1hr, costs $100. But it is worth every $$$$. Gives smoother transmission and hopefully in your case it will gain abit of power. also remember to clean the intake filter n intake inlet :) Ahh i c. Well i've had my trans fluid changed a couple of thousand kms ago so I might just change it again and see if it makes any difference. Thanks for the advice! Lataz

Hey, I've had my 1994 SDV10 4cyl auto Camry for a couple of years now and it has always been lacking power. At first I simply assumed it was due to the car's poor power-to-weight ratio from factory and automatic transmission but lately I've had some servicing done and the engine response is beginning to improve, however I still think there some more things I could do to improve the response. The two noticeable symptoms are a somewhat poor cold start - the engine seems to "grumble" into life after a couple of cranks as oppossed to "springing" into life. It also seems to have fairly good gear and engine response when the engine and outside temperature is cold, but when it warms up the gears and engine don't seem to respond as well. I have been thinking about replacing the fuel injectors and fuel filter because according to a mate's Dad (who worked at Mitsubishi for 16 years) loss of power through the rev range means there's usually an issue with the fuel (ie dirty or not getting enough into the cylinders). I am planning on taking it my mechanic but seeing as taking it to him is usually a bit of a stuff around I thought I'd try and solve the problem myself to make the fixing process simpler and possibly cheaper. If you read this and it doesn't make sense and you think you have some advice please post something anyway, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Adonis_88 I also thought I should mention that I am simply looking for my car to run as close to new as possible not for any performance mods and that my recent servicing I mentioned has included the following: *replace engine oil & filter *trans fluid drain and replace *toyota injector cleaner run through
