Hello good people.

I have to wait some minutes to crank it again if not it wont start. Please kindly advice me on specifics for this model of corolla. For e.g: which sensor needs changing, where to locate it etc.

Please kindly help

Hello Nurey,

Thanks for your input. I recently replaced the two VVT sensors. Also recently serviced using 5W - 30 Castrol Magnatec. 4 days after servicing using 5W-30 castrol oil, I started hearing Tappet sounds mostly when engine is heated (afternoon/high sun). Tappet sound got louder over few days of driving. My mechanic suspected oil pump to be weak. He checked and got it changed. He set timing, and engine ran smooth. Only for Tappet sound to resume after about 5 days. I just tire, ignored it. Then enroute yesterday, engine stalled. I tried to start it, it would crank but wouldnt start. I waited aboout 15 to 20 minutes, and it started. Drove a bit and it stalled again. Waited 15 - 20 mins, started car and drove home.

This is my situation. kindly help please.

Sounds like a sludge problem.
Please open engine oil refill cap or valve cover to see if there's sludge in the engine.
Have you been serving vehicle as at when due with the right oil weight? Or just once a year with one oil of unknown brand[/size][size=8pt]. Lol

I'm having problems with my peugeot 206 automatic gear transmission. The light beside the gear selection keeps blinking(* and s) and when i shift the gear from park to reverse or drive, the engine jumps as if it will fly out of the bonnet. Please help.
